US President Donald Trump said the United States will win its confrontation with Iran and predicted that oil prices would decline, according to remarks reported by TASS.
Trump reportedly stated that the US has already defeated Iran from a military standpoint, framing the broader standoff between the two countries as one where American dominance has effectively already been established.
The comments touch on two separate but related themes that have featured prominently in Trump's public statements: US military posture toward Iran and the trajectory of global oil prices, which are often influenced by tensions in the Middle East.
Iran has not immediately responded to the specific comments, and independent verification of the military assessment described was not available in the initial report.
Oil markets often react to statements from major political figures regarding Middle East tensions, given the region's significance to global energy supply, though the direct impact of any single comment on prices can vary widely.
