TRUMP RULES OUT NEW IRAN ATTACK BEFORE NOV. 3 ELECTIONS.
President Donald Trump says the U.S. will not attack Iran before the November 3 midterm elections, while claiming Washington and Tehran are engaged in “productive discussions” aimed at resolving the conflict.
Trump also said the U.S. blockade will remain in full force, despite the ongoing talks. The Strait of Hormuz remains a major focus of negotiations, with both sides discussing conditions for reopening the vital oil-shipping route.
The announcement comes as Washington continues applying economic pressure on Tehran. The U.S. Treasury also announced fresh sanctions targeting 17 vessels and networks involved in Iran’s oil trade.
The immediate pause on new attacks could ease some fears of a further escalation before the election, but the blockade, sanctions and unresolved nuclear dispute mean tensions between Washington and Tehran remain high.
