Trump says he will not attack before US elections in November

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday the United ‌States is having productive discussions with Iran and will not launch an attack on the country before ⁠U.S. midterm congressional elections in November.

"We are having productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. He said the U.S. blockade ‌of ⁠Iranian ports remains in effect and that oil is flowing through the Strait of Hormuz.

"We will ⁠not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm ⁠Elections to be held in the United States ⁠on November 3rd," Trump said.
