US Energy Secretary Predicts End to War with Iran in Weeks

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated today that he expects the war between the US and Iran to end within "the next few weeks," anticipating a recovery in oil supplies and a decrease in energy costs. "I believe this war will certainly end in the next few weeks, it could happen sooner than that. But the war will end in the next few weeks and we will see a recovery in supply and a drop in prices after that," Wright said on ABC's "This Week" program. This prediction suggests optimism for restoring stability in the energy market, which has been affected by the ongoing conflict. The specific timeframe predicted by Wright is "a few weeks," leaving room for a rapid development of events.
