Trump Claims Iran War Will End After Midterms

President Trump predicts an immediate post-election resolution while threatening further military action.

US President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that he expects the seven-month-long war with Iran to conclude immediately following the upcoming November midterm elections. Speaking to reporters before departing for the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Trump claimed that Tehran is intentionally intensifying military strikes to influence the American vote but will be unable to withstand sustained economic and military pressure past November. However, the president also delivered a stern warning, indicating that the US military might target Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain if hostilities continue. The remarks come as domestic frustration over the rising cost of living and the ongoing conflict has driven the administration’s public approval ratings to record lows ahead of the crucial vote.
