GoKawiilTrump says US won't strike Iran before midterms as oil blockade stays in place
President Trump said on Truth Social that the US will not attack Iran before the November 3 midterm elections, citing "productive discussions" between the two countries—a reversal from comments made a day earlier. He said the US naval blockade on Iran's ports remains fully in effect and that Iran still cannot be allowed a nuclear weapon. Oil prices rose during Thursday's trading session despite the de-escalatory tone.
