US President Donald Trump said that the war with Iran would end “very soon,” predicting that oil prices would fall sharply once the conflict concludes, Anadolu reports.

“The Iran war will end very soon … Soon, as they want it to end,” Trump told reporters in Montana.

“They’ll never have a nuclear weapon, and oil prices will drop like a rock.”

Earlier, addressing a rally in Montana, Trump expressed uncertainty over which Iranian officials the US was negotiating with as Washington sought to end the conflict.

“They don’t have a navy. They don’t have an air force. Their army is decimated. Their leaders are gone.

“I should have probably left their leaders because I don’t know who the hell we’re negotiating with,” he said.
