US-Iran War: Amidst the ongoing war in the Middle East, the strategy and statements of former US President Donald Trump are in constant discussion. According to reports, Trump has been advised by his advisors to quickly exit the ongoing war with Iran. The reason is clear: rising oil prices and its impact on America’s domestic politics. Political equations also seem to be changing regarding the 2028 US Presidential elections and in some surveys, a large number of people are calling this war a wrong decision. The impact of Trump’s statements is also directly visible on the international oil market. On February 28, 2026, when he talked about dismantling Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure, oil prices shot up. Even after the statements of March 1 and March 3-4, prices continued to rise. However, on March 9 and 10, when there were signs of an early end to the war, crude oil prices fell to around $90 per barrel.
