Trump claimed that recent fighting has caused a temporary spike in oil prices, which he believes will fall once Iran&#8217;s regime collapses. He also expressed confidence in the strength of the U.S. stock market and reiterated that Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons, asserting that other presidents failed to prevent this but he is persistent to succeed. Trump dismissed concerns about the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >midterm elections affecting foreign policy<\/a>, stating he is not running and will support his party. Additionally, he called on Iranians to rise up and fight, dismissing ongoing talks as worthless.
