Trump: War Won't Last Long - Oil Prices to 'Fall Like a Rock'

Former US President Donald Trump expressed the view that the conflict with Iran will not last long, while also predicting a significant drop in oil prices after the crisis ends. He stated that he gave instructions to the US military to avoid strikes on critical Iranian oil infrastructure, specifically on Kharg Island, which is the main loading point for Iranian oil exports. Trump emphasized that US forces maintained a safe distance from energy facilities during the air operation. At the same time, he left open the possibility of new attacks, stating that he is ready to strike the facilities again if necessary.
