US President Donald Trump believes that the US war against Iran will end very soon.
According to TASS, Trump expressed this view during a speech at a conference on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in Washington.
“Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. They are doing very badly. It will end very soon,” Trump said, adding that he believes oil prices will begin to fall after an agreement is reached with the Islamic Republic.
The US President also expressed the view that the war against Iran would go down in history as one of the most important things achieved under his administration. “Actually, it is one of the most important things,” he added.
The US and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon. However, on the night of July 8, the US resumed large-scale strikes against Iran, accusing it of violating the terms of agreements reached concerning the Strait of Hormuz.
Before the conflict, around 25% of global oil trade and approximately 20% of liquefied natural gas were transported through the strait.
