What happened

US President Donald Trump believes oil prices will stabilize after the war with Iran is finished.

Why it matters

<…> I had it down to $1.85 per gallon (3.785 liters - TASS) <...> just before the war [with Iran] started," he said in an interview with The New York Post.

Common ground

According to the American leader, the price of oil will drop to pre-war levels "as soon as it [Iran conflict] ends." "Everyone said it was going to be $300, $400 a barrel, it’s $98 a barrel but that’s not a big price to pay if you look at the possibility of…

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While web search results provide general links to WTI price charts and definitions of WTI from Wikipedia, none of the provided evidence contains the specific figure of $95.87 or the 2.25% increase for July 2026 delivery.

Claim 2: “I had it down to $1.85 per gallon... just before the war [with Iran] started”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result explicitly quotes the president mentioning seeing petrol for $1.85 per gallon in early 2026. However, other sources discuss gas prices being 'below $3' or 'surging' without confirming the specific $1.85 figure. There is only one specific source for the $1.85 claim.

Claim 4: “The price of Brent crude oil futures for delivery in August 2026 on London's ICE exchange rose above $98 per barrel on Wednesday for the first time since May 28 of this year.”
DISPUTED
The claim states Brent crude for August 2026 rose above $98 on Wednesday for the first time since May 28. However, a specific web search result from March 9, 2026, states that Brent crude for May 2026 exceeded $119 per barrel, and another source shows prices around $72 in July 2026, contradicting the specific price movement and timeline described in the claim.
