Trump Claims Iran War Will Be Over In 'Two Weeks', Says Oil Prices To Crash Afterwards

President Donald Trump has said that the United States could bring down global oil prices by disengaging from Iran, suggesting his administration would soon withdraw from the country.

Speaking in response to a question by journalists in White House on how his leadership would address rising oil prices, Trump argued that a US exit from Iran would have an immediate impact on the market.

"All we have to do is to leave Iran and we would be doing that very soon and they will become tumbling down."

He also linked his position to broader security concerns, referencing tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and justifying past military actions.

"Stock prices were up almost a record, I said to the American people it's time we make a detour because we have a mad man who wants nuclear weapon. If we did not knock him out with a B2-bomber, we would have had a nuclear weapon that would have been used before this, before today."

Trump suggested that failure to act decisively could have led to catastrophic consequences, insisting that his approach prevented a potential nuclear threat.

"You would not be standing there asking that question. I would say that within two or three weeks we will leave."

His remarks come amid heightened geopolitical tensions involving Iran and ongoing debates over US foreign policy in the Middle-East, particularly around military involvement and its effect on global energy markets.

On Monday, Trump openly threatened to seize Iran’s oil resources, declaring that taking control of the country’s crude exports is his preferred course of action.

Speaking in an interview with the Financial Times, Trump said Sunday that he would like to "take the oil in Iran" and is considering targeting the strategic export hub of Kharg Island, which is responsible for more than 90% of Iran's oil exports.

In some of his most direct remarks on the issue, Trump said his "preference would be to take the oil."

"To be honest with you, my favorite thing is to take the oil in Iran but some stupid people back in the U.S. say: ‘Why are you doing that?’ But they’re stupid people," he said.

Always miscalculating and oversimplifying issues. It's what brought us to this point in the first place. Its what started the unnecessary war.

The war was necessary. Iran has been arming terrorist throughout the middle east to surround Israel and achieve their agenda of destroying israel

The major strength of the US comes from it's allies and dollarization.

Trump has made a mess of the great works of their founding fathers. For G7 countries to be relating with Trump and the USA at a far distance during this war, shows how much damage Trump has done to matters of trust and reliability.

You don't talk to your partners as slaves or keep belittling great people. It's so wrong.

I believe Iran has an issue with Terrorism. But, let CIA and Mossad do more deep and forensic research about their weapon hideouts and capacity b4 taking a decision.

Striking Venezualla, Iran, even contemplating Nigeria are also geared towards crippling China's productivity.
China feeds the word now. There is nothing anyone can do about it at this stage. It's too late.

He had a huge headstart from his Father. Secondly he kept being fraudulent by declaring bankruptcy about five times. Thirdly with his position among the elite he had endless advantages and connections to stay up.

If you are broke today and all the richest people in this country are your friends believe me, you can be a billionaire again within one week.

It was before the world can take the U.S President's words to the bank , not anymore,you are negotiating with a regime yet you went to kill all its leaders. Do you think that is rational. We know you are trying to send paratroopers to their early grave you better desist . Whether you like it or not you are currently fighting China and Russia via Proxy.

Make una relax abeg.

Every single thing that you guys said the US and Israel can’t do, they did, and did worse.


Even as China and Russia see Wetin Dey happen, dem know say dem no fit chook mouth in this matter.

Now the world super powers have been redefined. It’s no more America, China and Russia.

It’s now America as number 1, and Israel as number 2. There is no number 3-10. India is the person following at number 10, South Korea at number 11. China and Russia follows at number 15 and 16 respectively.
