President Donald Trump wrote early Thursday morning on his social network that oil prices are falling rapidly and that fuel prices are expected to drop soon to their lowest level — similar to prices before what he termed the 'very successful operation' of the United States in Iran. The statement, reported by the 301 channel (Arabic world on Telegram), extends a series of Trump statements in recent weeks about oil and fuel prices. Over the past month, Trump has repeatedly touted falling prices as evidence of economic success following the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the Iran deal, and the US operation in Iran. The president has previously called on US gas stations to cut prices immediately, warning of 'big problems' otherwise. The exact timing and details of the 'very successful operation' referenced are not specified in the statement.
