Trump Says Iran Deal Will Lower Oil Prices, Boost Global Economic Stability

Evian, June 2026 : United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the agreement reached with Iran would contribute to lower oil prices and strengthen the global economy by ensuring the reopening of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, a key route for international energy shipments.

Speaking at a press conference following the G7 Summit in France, Trump said global energy markets had responded positively to the easing of tensions in the Gulf region. He argued that concerns over a prolonged conflict, which had raised fears of disruptions to oil supplies, had significantly diminished after the agreement was announced.

According to the US President, the deal helped avert a major energy crisis that could have sent oil prices soaring. Trump noted that although market observers had warned of the possibility of crude oil prices reaching extremely high levels during the conflict, those fears ultimately did not materialise.

He pointed out that oil prices had risen temporarily amid uncertainty but remained well below the levels some analysts had predicted. The reduction in geopolitical tensions, he said, restored confidence in global markets and eased concerns about supply disruptions from one of the world’s most important oil-producing regions.

A key factor behind the market’s positive response, Trump said, was the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant share of global crude oil and liquefied natural gas shipments pass every day. He stressed that uninterrupted navigation through the waterway is critical for maintaining energy flows and preventing shortages.

The President argued that continued military operations in the region could have jeopardised commercial shipping and disrupted international trade. By helping restore stability, the agreement has allowed vessels to move safely through the corridor, supporting global energy security.

Trump also linked lower oil prices to broader economic benefits. He said declining energy costs would reduce transportation and manufacturing expenses, easing pressure on businesses and consumers alike. Lower fuel prices, he added, could also help moderate inflation and support economic growth.

The comments are particularly relevant for major energy-importing nations such as India, which relies heavily on imported crude oil. Stability in the Strait of Hormuz remains vital for India’s energy security, trade flows and inflation management. Any disruption in the region can significantly affect fuel prices and economic activity, making the restoration of stability a matter of global importance.
