When will Iran war end? Trump says right after US midterm elections

US President Donald Trump on Saturday said that the war with Iran will end after the US midterm elections scheduled for November.While talking to reporters in Dublin, Ireland, Trump accused Tehran of “trying to hold out as long as they can to complicate the election.”"Iran war will end right after US midterm elections. They are trying to hold on as long as they can to complicate the elections," Trump said."Because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They were two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon. If they had it, they would have blown up Israel, the Middle East and Europe's cities. A negotiation could possibly happen, but it’s not something we’re looking at," he added.The US president also said that oil prices "will come tumbling down" once the war ends.The midterm elections, scheduled for November 3 this year, are typically seen as a referendum on the occupant of the White House.Trump’s approval rating has recently fallen to a record low amid growing voter frustration over the Iran war and a deepening cost-of-living crisis.Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed that his country “will never surrender” while addressing the annual Brics summit in New Delhi.Pezeshkian said Iran had been attacked without justification and that its leader, military commanders, children and scientists had been killed in the conflict.He called for the lifting of “unjust sanctions” and said Iran would defend “the rights of its people with all its capabilities."Catch the latest World News and Live updates.
