Trump’s latest post asserts that a U.S. win over Iran will push gasoline below two dollars a gallon, shattering his earlier pledge of a three‑dollar ceiling. If true, consumers stand to gain dramatically from cheaper fuel, while oil producers could face revenue loss.

The post follows a series of statements posted on the same day, including a signal that an Iran peace deal is near completion and that disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz may cease. By linking the anticipated peace to an imminent war victory, Trump frames the price projection as a direct result of U.S. military success.

The narrative appears designed to reinforce his broader campaign promise of lowering energy costs across eight policy areas. What remains unclear is whether any formal peace agreement will be reached, how quickly hostilities might end, and how actual gasoline prices will move in response to the president’s assertion.
