ClosePresident Donald Trump said that the Iran war will end "immediately" after US midterm elections and blamed the rising price of oil on the war.

Oil prices rose to $100 (£74) a barrel on Wednesday, after the US and Iran attacked tankers in the Gulf region and Yemen's Houthis hit oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.
