  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has predicted that the war with Iran will end immediately after the American midterm elections in November. According to Trump, Tehran is trying to influence the vote but will not be able to hold out longer in the face of US economic pressure.\n\nThe conflict has led to a surge in oil prices, with benchmark Brent crude futures breaching $100 a barrel for the first time since July, as reported by The Korea Times. The price of crude oil had risen back above $US100 a barrel, causing stocks to fall on Wall Street, according to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.\n\nTrump also stated that Iranian leadership is escalating the conflict to hurt Republicans in the midterm elections, and that the war's economic impacts, including high energy costs, may cost Republicans their majority in the House and possibly the Senate, as reported by Politico EU. The midterm elections are due to be held on November 3.",
