🚨 BREAKING:
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump's aides want the Iran war kept quiet until November 3, and heavier strikes are on the table after...
Four people familiar tell Reuters the White House is trying to contain the conflict through the midterms to limit Republican losses, with Vance and Rubio on board and a return to heavier military action to be considered AFTER the vote.
One official put it in four words: November is a priority.
Another said the calendar is driving Iran.
A pause would also let the Pentagon rebuild stockpiles Reuters says are down to virtually nothing for certain precision missiles.
Trump told reporters Wednesday the elections play no role in his strategy.
The strategy lasted about a week before the overnight exchange.
Barbara Leaf, who ran the Middle East at State under Biden, names the flaw: there is no real calm to protect when the stated aim is crushing Iran economically, so Tehran has every reason to break it.
Bessent himself said Sunday the pressure may cause Iran to lash out.
