The US President stated that recent economic indicators, including current inflation rates, are considered positive, following reports showing a rise in the Consumer Price Index. The President attributed this increase and the shift in energy prices to the strict measures his administration took against Tehran, which included restricting its oil exports and obstructing its nuclear ambitions. He emphasized that the US was experiencing unprecedented economic prosperity before the conflict broke out, but the security necessity to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon necessitated military action. The US administration reiterated its expectations that inflation and oil prices will drop once the situation in the Middle East stabilizes, while internal political criticism of the economic policies pursued during the conflict continues.
