Trump rules out new Iran attack before midterm polls
tribune · philippines · global
US President Donald Trump ruled out military strikes against Iran before the 3 November midterm elections, citing “productive discussions” with Tehran. His announcement followed reports of Pentagon strike planning and a surge in oil prices, with Brent crude reaching $105.88 a barrel amid tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and regional hostilities. Trump also faces political pressure over fuel costs, a possible third impeachment, and controversy surrounding his remarks about Iranian threats to US cities.
