Donald Trump Gives Major Update on Iran War Ending Date

Trump said the war with Iran will end after the midterms and predicted gas prices will fall below $2 a gallon.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump told reporters the war with Iran will end "immediately after" the midterm elections, extending his timeline months beyond the original pledge.

  • Ongoing conflict has strained global oil markets, pushing prices above $100 a barrel; regular gasoline now costs $4.22 a gallon, up from $4.01 last month, while diesel averages almost $6.
  • Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have privately warned Trump that the war could drag on through the remainder of his term, according to Wall Street Journal reporting.
  • A prolonged conflict could serve as an "albatross" for Republicans heading into the 2028 election, potentially creating space for anti-war candidates like Tucker Carlson to challenge Vance and Rubio.
