Trump says Iran war will end "very quickly", oil prices will "come tumbling down"

Trump said the conflict could end quickly as negotiations continue over Iran’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, with 21 U.S. troops killed.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump stated the ongoing war with Iran will end "very quickly," claiming that global oil prices will "come tumbling down" as his administration continues to assert control.
  • Vice President JD Vance earlier insisted Tehran must execute a "meaningful" cut in its 60% nuclear enrichment capacity before Washington agrees to halt the seven-month war without verbal pledges alone.
  • While Trump claimed the Iranian oil minister "just quit," Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani rejected the assertion as "a futile effort to hide his own failures," describing it as flexibility rather than weakness.
  • Energy market analysts remain cautious, noting international crude recently touched triple digits amid persistent shipping threats and refinery strikes, complicating the administration's promise of overnight market settlement.
  • Vance admitted Washington lacks clarity on how Iran makes decisions, though Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insisted officials remain serious about using diplomacy to secure national security interests.
