Trump says Iran deal may be possible after US midterms
The US president linked a possible agreement with Tehran to the November elections while issuing a threat of “annihilation” if no deal is reached.
US President Donald Trump has said an agreement with Iran could be possible after the US midterm elections in November, while warning that he may decide whether to “annihilate” Iran if Tehran fails to reach a deal.
Trump made the remarks at the United Nations General Assembly on 22 September, according to France 24 International.
He said the proposed agreement would aim to end the war in the Middle East. The source material does not specify the terms of any deal, the negotiating positions of the parties or the conflict’s details.
Trump’s reference to “annihilate” Iran was reported as a warning, rather than a confirmed policy decision. His expectation of an agreement after the midterms also remains a stated belief, with no deal confirmed in the supplied material.
