Trump announced that Iran will not be struck before the election

Iran is in "grave condition" and as long as oil deliveries through the Strait of Hormuz continue, the US will not attack this country until the midterm elections to Congress in November, Trump said.

Trump announced that Iran will not be struck before the election

If oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz continues, the US will not strike Iran before the midterm elections in November.

The American leader said that Washington is conducting "effective dialogue" with Tehran.

"We will refrain from attacking Iran at any time prior to the midterm elections to be held in the United States on November 3," he wrote.

Trump clarified that attacks will not be carried out as long as Iran is in a "very weak position" economically and militarily, and as long as the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is maintained while "record numbers of oil barrels" are being received. According to the US president, 22 million barrels of oil were transported through the strait last night, none of which entered or left Iran.

The publication's sources in the US and Israel claim that the attacks could resume before the US midterm elections on November 3 or even the Israeli elections on October 27. They also noted that Trump has not yet made a final decision.
