Trump Says He Discussed Houthi Strikes With Saudi Crown Prince, Sees Iran War Ending Soon

Trump's remarks matter less for what they confirm than for the linkage they draw between military posture, Gulf coordination, and oil. Tying an end to the Iran conflict to falling prices is a political framing with direct read-through for energy and shipping-risk sentiment, and the Saudi consultation signals the Gulf is being kept inside the loop rather than briefed after the fact. The open question is whether the vague "we'll see" on the UK incident hardens into a defined response, and whether the war-ending timeline holds.
