US President Donald Trump denies plans to attack Iran before the midterm elections, citing “productive discussions” with the Islamic Republic, after reports emerged on US media yesterday that Trump is mulling plans for a strike before the elections.
“We are having productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran…we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections to be held in the United States on November 3rd,” Trump said on Truth Social.
“Iran is in very bad condition, both Economically and Militarily, and…the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, with Oil flowing in Record Numbers of Barrels through the Hormuz Strait (22 Million Barrels, last night alone, with not one barrel coming from, or going to, Iran!),” he added.
