Trump Expects Iran War to End after Midterms Amid Ongoing Regional Escalation

US President Donald Trump believes the war with Iran will end after November's midterm elections. He made this statement despite ongoing attacks near the Strait of Hormuz and escalating fighting in Yemen, which have raised concerns over regional security and global energy supplies.

Tehran is seeking to influence the US election, according to Trump. The President thinks that Tehran cannot sustain the conflict much longer, as it is desperate to try to influence the outcome of the vote.

Renewed attacks near the Strait of Hormuz have put pressure on energy markets. Brent crude prices remain above $100 a barrel due to shipping disruptions affecting key routes through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea.
