Trump Predicts ‘Complete Victory’ Over Iran Within Two Weeks, Says Oil Prices Could Fall
WASHINGTON, June 9: US President Donald Trump has claimed that the United States will achieve what he described as a “complete victory” over Iran within the next two weeks, while also predicting a decline in global oil prices following the development.
Speaking during a tele-rally organized in support of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, Trump said the United States had adopted a firm approach toward Iran and was making significant progress.
“We are winning this conflict, and the real result will be visible very soon,” Trump said, adding that a formal declaration of “complete victory” could come within the next two weeks.
The US president also suggested that energy markets would react positively to such an outcome, arguing that oil prices would begin to move lower after the anticipated development.
However, Trump did not provide specific military, diplomatic, or policy details explaining what actions would lead to the declaration of victory. No official framework or timeline was announced to support the claim.
His remarks come amid continuing tensions between Washington and Tehran, with relations between the two countries remaining strained over a range of regional and strategic issues.
Iranian authorities had not issued an immediate official response to Trump’s comments at the time of reporting.
Energy analysts generally note that oil prices are influenced by multiple factors, including global supply and demand, geopolitical developments, sanctions, shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz, and broader market conditions. As a result, Trump’s comments regarding future oil prices were viewed as a political and economic projection rather than an official market forecast.
