President Donald Trump ruled out attacking Iran before the US midterms on November 3, saying Washington was holding “productive discussions” with Tehran.
“I want to make it clear to everybody that, while Iran is in very bad condition, both economically and militarily, and while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect…we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections,” he wrote.
“We are having productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he added.
The New York Times said Thursday the plans were being developed despite Trump’s “ambivalence.”
