## Key points

- Trump says the US conflict with Iran may end soon.
- Brent crude fell below $90, its lowest since August.
- US refuelling aircraft left RAF Mildenhall after a reported threat.

## Summary

Donald Trump said the US conflict with Iran could end “fairly soon”, easing oil prices, while warning that American forces remained ready to act. His remarks matter because they signalled a possible de-escalation, though they were not accompanied by a formal announcement that the war had ended.

Brent crude fell below $90 a barrel, its lowest level since August. Trump said Israel and Gulf allies were well protected and that escalation was unnecessary, but described the US as “locked and loaded”; the article also reports that US refuelling aircraft moved from RAF Mildenhall to Germany and elsewhere after a reported Iranian threat.
