Svmuu News White House Press Secretary Levitt stated that U.S. military operations 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 run, this operation will lead to a decrease in 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 directives, developing more plans." When asked about the timeline for actions against Iran, Levitt stated that the military operations against Iran will end when Trump determines that the objectives have been achieved and Iran surrenders unconditionally. "Ultimately, when the Commander-in-Chief (Trump) determines that the military objectives have been fully achieved and Iran is in a state of complete and unconditional surrender, regardless of whether they acknowledge it, the military operations will end," Levitt said.
