Odaily reported that Trump claimed oil prices will rise "slightly" as a result of attacks on Iran. When asked about the impact of U.S. strikes on Iran over the past day, Trump said: "Every time we strike (Iran), oil prices go up a little, about $2." When a reporter asked whether a new round of conflict between the U.S. and Iran could lead to higher oil prices, he agreed, insisting that the increase would be limited to $2. (Jin 10)
