US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said he expects the ongoing war with Iran to end within the next few weeks. Speaking in an interview on ABC News’ program ‘This Week,’ Wright expressed optimism that the conflict could conclude even sooner.

He noted that once the war ends, energy supplies are likely to return to normal and fuel prices may decrease. According to Wright, the instability in global energy markets caused by the conflict should gradually subside after peace is restored.

The comments come amid continuing hostilities between Iran and Israel, with reports of missile and drone attacks in the region, and international calls for a ceasefire.
