Trump says oil and gas prices won’t fall until ‘right after’ midterm election
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump told reporters before departing for the Republican National Midterm Convention in Dallas that the Iran War will end "immediately after the election," claiming Tehran seeks to influence the November vote.

- Foreign policy experts say Trump has "run out of options" regarding the war, while Republican strategist Matthew Bartlett stated the United States has been exposed for lacking a clear plan to win or exit.
