US energy secretary Chris Wright said that he expects the United States (US)–Israel war with Iran to end within “the next few weeks,” with oil supplies rebounding and energy costs declining afterwards, the Guardian reported on Sunday.

“I think that this conflict will certainly come to the end in the next few weeks – could be sooner than that. But the conflict will come to the end in the next few weeks, and we’ll see a rebound in supplies and a pushing down in prices after that,” said Wright.
