President Trump stated that the United States would not resume military strikes against Iran before the November 3 midterm elections.

Trump's declaration aims to stabilize regional tensions and potentially influence domestic political dynamics ahead of the elections. Iran has previously utilized its oil resources as leverage in its dealings with the United States, a strategy that could be employed again.
