Trump links end of war to lower oil prices
According to Trump, the conclusion of the war would be followed by a decline in oil prices.
Oil markets have remained highly sensitive to developments in the Middle East because prolonged conflict in the region can affect crude supplies, transportation routes and investor expectations.
Trump did not provide, in the supplied material, a specific timeline for when the conflict would end or indicate how large a decline in oil prices he expects.

Developments involving Iran remain closely watched by international energy markets because of the country’s strategic position in the global oil trade.
