Trump Predicts Oil Prices Will Drop Below $2 After US-Iran Conflict; Iran Warns of Retaliation
US President Donald Trump predicted that oil prices could fall below two dollars per gallon following a US victory in its conflict with Iran, linking current high energy costs to ongoing Middle East tensions. Trump reiterated that Iran would not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. In response, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned Washington against attacking Iranian energy facilities, stating that American oil and gas companies in the region share exposure and could face retaliation. Both sides exchanged warnings amid escalating tensions around key oil transit routes.
