President Donald Trump has again insisted that gas prices will plummet to $1.85 per gallon as soon as the Iran war is over — but the path to peace remains in doubt.

“We want low gasoline,” Trump said during an interview with Pod Force One released on Wednesday. “I had it down to $1.85 a gallon…$1.85 in Iowa; I was in Iowa just before the war started…And it’ll be back there again at some point in the probably not too distant future. I think as soon as it ends.”

On Wednesday, the national average price was $4.26 a gallon — up $2.98 since just before the war broke out in February, according to AAA.

The 79-year-old president made a similar claim during an interview with CNBC on Monday.

“It’ll go down very quickly as soon as it’s over, and Iran will not have a nuclear weapon,” he told the outlet. “Once you explain that this is all about Iran having a nuclear weapon, people are willing to pay a little bit more, and but it’ll, it’ll happen very quickly, and as soon as that happens, gasoline will get down to $1.85 like it was in Iowa three months ago.”
