> US President Donald Trump said he does not expect the Iran war to end before November’s midterm elections and said oil prices would not fall until afterward. He claimed, without evidence, that Iran wants to influence the vote, while saying the war could end “immediately” after the election. Escalating fighting has pushed oil to $100 a barrel.
