Trump afirmă că războiul cu Iranul se va încheia „imediat” după alegerile de la jumătatea mandatului care se desfășoară în SUA, în noiembrie: „Sunt disperați să încerce să influențeze alegerile”
President Trump accused Iran of escalating conflict to harm Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections, citing rising energy prices as a concern for voters. He predicted that the war would end and gas prices would drop significantly after the elections. Trump's comments come amid record-high fuel prices, which are affecting the cost of living and contributing to inflation worries. He also stated that he no longer intends to negotiate with Iranian leadership, indicating a shift in approach. The U.S. and Iran have recently intensified military actions against each other.
