  "account": "President Donald Trump recently claimed that the ongoing war with Iran will conclude immediately following the upcoming U.S. midterm elections in November. He attributed Tehran's aggressive actions to their desire to influence the vote. In an interview, Trump stated, \"I think war is going to end immediately after the election because they can't hold out any longer. They're desperate to try and affect the election.\" This prediction comes as Iran's seventh month of conflict with the U.S. shows no signs of ending. Iran recently attacked 10 ships near the Strait of Hormuz in response to the U.S. sinking five Iranian oil tankers. The escalation in hostilities drove oil prices to a record high of over $100 per barrel for the first time since July. Trump also mentioned that oil prices would likely decrease once the war ended, though he dismissed the possibility of diplomatic talks, stating, \"Yes, a negotiation could possible happen, but it's not something we're looking at.\"",
