US President Donald Trump has predicted the Iran war will last another two to three weeks, but says it’s close to an end. In a televised address from the White House, Trump claimed success in the US campaign dubbed Operation Epic Fury and reiterated that the war won’t last much longer.
The speech sparked negative reactions on oil and stock markets. Gas prices have risen significantly, averaging $4.06 per gallon. The conflict began on February 28 with strikes around Iran, including one that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country’s supreme leader.
