Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the war with Iran "will certainly" end within the next few weeks during recent remarks, though he provided no specific details about the timeline or circumstances that would lead to the conflict's conclusion.

Wright also addressed domestic energy concerns, stating that gasoline prices should decline in the near term. However, he cautioned that there is no guarantee prices will drop, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of energy markets.

The Energy Secretary's comments come amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East that have contributed to volatility in global oil markets. Energy prices have been a key concern for consumers and policymakers as geopolitical conflicts continue to influence supply chains and market stability.
