President Donald Trump said he was not considering another U.S. strike on Iran after Tuesday’s midterm elections. He invoked the decline in oil prices as he described the broader situation favorably.
Trump said the United States had fought Iran and won, but characterized the fighting as limited. “This is not a war. We hardly fought,” he said.
The exchange concerned whether he might consider military action after the vote. His response addressed his consideration of that possibility; it did not announce that an attack had been ordered.
Reuters reported Monday that Trump said an agreement with Tehran remained possible and expressed doubt about military action after the vote. He also argued that Iran must not acquire a nuclear weapon. EconoTimes previously covered his earlier remarks on a possible Iran deal.
The next event is the U.S. midterm election on Tuesday, Nov. 3, and Trump’s statement specifically addressed action after that vote.
