US President Donald Trump has once again given a strong statement regarding Iran. He clearly said that if Iran moves towards making nuclear weapons, then no agreement of any kind with that country will be possible. Furthermore, he stressed that the current conflict will end soon, which will then see a sharp decline in oil and gas prices.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump declared that Iran cannot be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. “If they do that, we will not compromise,” he said. He also claimed that the US military had caused huge damage to Iran. According to Trump, “Iran’s air force and radar systems are almost completely destroyed.” However, he also acknowledged that the final outcome of this conflict is still unclear. Describing Iran’s current leadership as “new” and “much smarter” than before, Trump indicated that the situation could change rapidly. He commented, “Ultimately, it’s the result that counts, and that could come very soon.”
President Trump also said that although the United States has the capability to completely destroy Iran’s infrastructure, it does not want to escalate tensions further. “We could destroy all their bridges and power plants within an hour, but we don’t want to do that,” he said.
claims about china
He also made important claims about China. He said that China and America are working together very intelligently and effectively. China has agreed that it will not supply arms to Iran. Recent reports also indicate that the US had urged Beijing to refrain from supplying arms to Iran. In another important claim, Trump said that China is very happy that the US is working to ensure that the Strait of Hormuz remains open at all times. It is worth noting that this sea route is vital for approximately 20% of the world’s oil supply, and tensions in the region are still very high due to the ongoing conflict.
predictions on oil prices
In this context, Trump also made a big prediction about the global oil market. He said that as soon as the ongoing conflict with Iran ends, the prices of crude oil will fall drastically. Trump said, “As soon as this war ends, oil prices will fall very rapidly. I believe it could end very soon. Right now, gas prices in the US are running above $4 per gallon, but there may be a lot of relief in it by the coming elections.”
It is worth noting that the increasing tension between America and Iran has made the situation in the Middle East extremely unstable. In particular, the impact on critical sea lanes such as the Strait of Hormuz has further increased the instability in global supply chains and oil markets. However, Trump claimed that he has not faced any significant opposition from other countries regarding America’s actions.
Earlier, in an interview on Sunday, Trump had indicated that fuel prices would either remain at their current levels or perhaps increase slightly until the Congressional elections in November. This statement was later criticized. However, in a subsequent interview recorded at the White House, Trump clarified that his earlier statements had been misrepresented. He stressed that the main objective of his policies and strategies is to bring down the prices of oil and gas.
