US President Donald Trump stated that oil prices will not decrease until after the November midterm elections. He linked relief at the pump to an expected Iranian abandonment of the war once Americans vote.

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose by 3.78% to $103 on the same day, its highest level since May, following fresh strikes around the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump claimed that Iran is prolonging the fighting to weaken his party in the midterms, which are set for November 3. However, a World Bank study found that oil shocks can cut an incumbent's re-election odds by up to 5.9 percentage points.
