Read the full assessment
US President Trump claims the conflict with Iran will end imminently and predicts a sharp drop in oil prices. Concurrently, Trump has repeatedly expressed uncertainty regarding the identity of Iranian negotiation counterparts, suggesting potential opacity in diplomatic channels or internal US messaging discord. The claim of imminent de-escalation remains unverified rhetoric.
