Trump: War with Iran will end immediately after election

09 SEP 2026 · 16:15 ET·7:13·164K VIEWS·1.6× USUAL PACE

President Trump stated that the war with Iran will conclude "immediately after our election," implying that oil and gas prices, specifically gasoline, would fall below $2 a gallon at that time. He attributed current high oil prices (over $100 a barrel) to the ongoing conflict and also remarked on Iran's economic struggles, including 300% inflation.

WHY IT MATTERS

President Trump's assertion directly links the end of the war and a significant drop in gas prices to his potential re-election, which could influence voter sentiment and campaign strategies as the election approaches. This position could also signal a shift in US foreign policy regarding Iran, impacting global oil markets and international relations.
