Trump Affirms Positive Talks with Iran, Rules Out Attacks Before November 3 Midterm Elections
U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that negotiations between the United States and Iran are progressing positively. He clarified that there will be no attacks on Iran prior to the November 3 midterm elections. On February 28, the U.S., in coordination with Israel, launched an operation named ‘Operation Epic Fury’ targeting Iran. Since then, Trump has predicted a swift victory against Iran, although tensions between the two countries remain unchanged.
Some American media outlets had suggested that the Pentagon might carry out an attack on Iran before the November midterm elections, prompting this response from Trump. He emphasized that the U.S. is engaged in meaningful dialogue with Iran, stating, “Talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran are moving forward in a positive direction. I want to make it clear to everyone that Iran is at significant risk economically as well as militarily. However, the blockade will remain fully in place.”
Trump further added, “We will not carry out any attacks on Iran before the midterm elections on November 3. Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons.” Earlier, Iran had proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but Trump rejected this initiative. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced via Telegram that Trump had declined the proposal.
