Trump: No attack on Iran before midterm elections

U.S. President Donald Trump affirmed that the United States will not launch any attack on Iran before the midterm elections. In a post on his platform Truth Social, he said: “We are having productive discussions with Iran. I want to make it clear to everyone that despite the extremely dire situation Iran is facing, both economically and militarily, and despite the continued full force and effectiveness of the sanctions, and with record volumes of oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz (22 million barrels alone last night, with not a single barrel coming from Iran or going to Iran), we will not launch any attack on Iran at any time prior to the midterm elections scheduled in the United States on November 3. He reiterated and emphasized, saying: ‘Iran will not have a nuclear weapon!’ In a separate context, Trump wrote in another post: ‘The White House considers anyone who uses the term “artificial intelligence” instead of the new, more accurate, and widely accepted term “superintelligence” to be an enemy.’”
