Trump Predicts War Won't End Until After US Midterm Elections
US President Donald Trump has stated that he doesn't believe the Iran war will end until after November's midterm elections. In an address, he mentioned that oil prices won't decrease until then.
Oil prices have risen to $100 (£74) for the first time since July due to increased fighting in the Middle East. The conflict has led to a steep decline in Trump's approval ratings.
Tehran has repeatedly denied it is seeking nuclear weapons, and Iran-linked Houthis in Yemen launched attacks on Saudi Arabia recently, sparking fires at oil facilities.
