TechFlame News White House Press Secretary Levitt stated that U.S. military actions in Iran "will lead to a decrease in natural gas prices in the long run." "For the American people, the recent rise in oil and natural gas prices is temporary. In the long term, this operation will result in lower natural gas prices," Levitt said. She added that Trump and his energy team "are closely monitoring the market, speaking with industry leaders, and the U.S. military is continuing to keep the Strait of Hormuz open under the President's directive, while developing additional plans." When asked about the timeline for actions against Iran, Levitt indicated that military operations in Iran would end when Trump determines that the objectives have been achieved and Iran has surrendered unconditionally. "Ultimately, when the Commander-in-Chief (Trump) determines that the military objectives have been fully accomplished and Iran is in a state of complete, unconditional surrender, regardless of whether they acknowledge it, the military operations will cease," Levitt said.
