US Sen. John Kennedy, in Iowa, predicts end of Iran war in 6 months
Kennedy said the conflict has pushed oil and gas prices higher, citing a 3.7% inflation reading and predicting relief within six months.
- On Saturday, U.S. Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana argued the U.S.-Iran war has "affected the price of everything," predicting the conflict will end within six months and reduce inflation.
- Kennedy called the conflict "the genesis of the inflation that we have right now" because fuel costs surged after closure of the Strait of Hormuz during the war.
- Data from AAA-Iowa shows regular unleaded gas averages $4.39 per gallon, a 47% spike from last year, while diesel has reached a record $6.21 per gallon.
- Kennedy used the fundraiser to support U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson's Senate bid, praising her as "temperate" and "thoughtful" while defending the Republican-backed "One, Big Beautiful Bill" Act.
- Other Iowa Republicans recently joined Democrats to back a resolution curbing President Donald Trump's war powers in Iran, marking a shift for U.S. Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn.
