Trump Links Iran War End to Midterm Election Success
President Donald Trump stated that the Iran war would end after the midterm elections, suggesting Iran's government was prolonging the conflict to influence Republican political prospects. He also claimed that oil prices would decrease "as soon as we win" the Iran war, which had reached $100 per barrel. However, internal White House warnings cautioned that an Iran war could last for years, and advisers warned of a prolonged conflict. One report noted Trump's past remark about "bombing the crap" out of Iran.
