President Donald Trump predicted that the conflict with Iran will conclude "immediately after" the US midterm elections in November. He stated that Iran is attempting to influence the election and cannot withstand further US economic pressure. Trump made these remarks to reporters before departing for the Republican National Convention. The war, which has been ongoing for seven months, saw renewed fighting when Iran claimed to have attacked 10 ships near the Strait of Hormuz following the US sinking five Iranian oil tankers. This escalation caused oil prices to surge. The article also notes that Trump's approval ratings have declined due to voter frustration over the Iran war and the cost-of-living crisis.
