Trump Says Iran ‘Not in Good Shape,’ Expects War to End Soon

US President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran was “not in good shape” and predicted that the war would end soon.

His remarks offered an assessment of Iran’s position alongside an optimistic forecast for the conflict’s conclusion. He did not give a specific timetable in the comments provided.

Trump also said he expected oil prices to return to the levels seen before the conflict, linking his outlook for the war with expectations for the energy market.

The comments amounted to a forecast rather than an announcement of an end to hostilities. No further details were provided on how the fighting might conclude or when oil prices could return to pre-conflict levels.
