President Donald Trump stated on Thursday that the United States will not attack Iran before the US midterm elections scheduled for November 3. This announcement came after reports of potential US military strikes against Iran spurred a rise in global oil prices. Trump conveyed this message through a post on his Truth Social platform. He indicated that Washington is currently engaged in “productive discussions” with Tehran, suggesting a diplomatic channel remains open. The previous speculation regarding a potential attack had created market volatility, prompting concerns about further disruption to global energy supplies. Trump’s statement appears aimed at calming those concerns and clarifying his administration's immediate intentions regarding Iran ahead of the elections.
