The United States will end its war on Iran fairly soon and could return for "spot hits" if needed, President Donald Trump told Reuters on Wednesday, hours before he was scheduled to make a primetime address to the nation. ADVERTISEMENTAsked when the United States would consider the Iran war over, Trump said: "I can't tell you exactly ... we're going to be out pretty quickly." Oil reversed earlier gains on Wednesday on Trump's talk of an exit from the war. Higher fuel prices are weighing on US household finances before the November midterm elections, with two-thirds of Americans believing the US should work to exit the Iran war quickly, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found. In Iran, 3,492 people have been killed, including 1,574 civilians and 236 children, US-based rights group HRANA said.
