Trump Predicts Gas Prices Will Fall Below $2 a Gallon After Iran Conflict

US President Donald Trump has claimed that American petrol prices will drop below $2 a gallon once the country wins its conflict with Iran, linking cheaper energy to a US victory.

In a statement on Truth Social, Trump wrote: 'Oil prices will drop precipitously... when we WIN the war with Iran. Three Dollars a gallon, but ultimately, below Two Dollars a gallon.'

This prediction comes as energy infrastructure and oil shipping increasingly feature in public threats exchanged between Washington and Tehran.

The warnings from both sides have left energy assets at the centre of both military threats surrounding the conflict and Trump's economic pitch to Americans.
