Trump warns Iran wants war to linger through November midterms
At a North Carolina rally, Donald Trump claimed Iran hopes the conflict will continue past the upcoming midterm elections.
During a campaign event in North Carolina, Donald Trump asserted that Iran is counting on the war persisting beyond the November midterms. He predicted the fighting would end quickly, after which oil prices would plunge sharply. Trump also suggested that higher energy costs are a minor sacrifice to keep a nuclear weapon away from what he called the world’s top state sponsor of terror.
Why it matters
Trump's claim ties foreign conflict to U.S. election timing, influencing public perception of national security.
