US Energy Secretary Chris Wright says he expects the US war with Iran to end within “the next few weeks,” with oil supplies rebounding and energy costs declining afterwards.

“I think that this conflict will certainly come to the end in the next few weeks — could be sooner than that. But the conflict will come to the end in the next few weeks, and we’ll see a rebound in supplies and a pushing down in prices after that,” Wright tells ABC’s “This Week” program.
