US EditionEnergy Secretary Wright says war with Iran 'will certainly' end in next few weeks
Energy Secretary Chris Wright expects the Iran conflict to end soon, predicting gas prices will fall after a brief surge caused by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, where oil flows have been blocked.
- On Sunday, Energy Secretary Chris Wright predicted the Iran war will end "in the next few weeks," with oil supplies rebounding and gas prices declining once hostilities cease.
- Escalating hostilities since February 28 effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime passage carrying about 20% of global oil, driving crude prices above $103 per barrel by Friday.
- Over 30 nations coordinated a record release of 400 million barrels from strategic reserves to stabilize markets, though gas prices still averaged $3.70 per gallon on Saturday amid persistent supply concerns.
- President Donald Trump has opted not to destroy Iranian oil infrastructure, instead calling for international naval support to keep the strait open while U.S. forces continue degrading Iranian military capabilities.
- Despite Wright's optimistic timeline, Israeli military officials report planning for at least three more weeks of operations, while Senator Adam Schiff criticized the administration for lacking clear objectives for the campaign.
