Senator Elizabeth Warren accused President Trump of launching the US‑Iran war and said oil firms tied to him have profited. Democrats, citing Joint Economic Committee data and Trump’s financial disclosures through Q2 2026, said he continued trading oil and gas stocks during the conflict and that his disclosed energy holdings widened from a $13–46m range at the start of the year to $17–61m by mid‑August; the White House says Trump did not participate in the trades. Warren highlighted corporate results: ExxonMobil posted Q2 net income above $14.0bn, about double a year earlier, and Chevron’s Q2 profit rose roughly fourfold from the same period in 2025 to $12.1bn. She said ending the Iran war would lower gasoline prices.
