In an Oval Office briefing, US President Donald Trump addressed the ongoing conflict in Iran and its impact on the American economy. With gas prices surging past $4.00 per gallon, Trump stated that while Americans are "feeling the effects in the interim," they are "feeling a lot safer" following recent military operations. Trump claimed that the plan to bring energy costs back down involves a swift withdrawal, stating, "All I have to do is leave Iran... and they’ll become tumbling down." He credited the military for removing "radicalized lunatics" along the Strait of Hormuz and suggested that responsibility for securing the global waterway will now fall to other nations like France and the UK.
