Trump Signals Possible Iran Deal Before Midterm Elections

US President Donald Trump said conditions are favorable for a deal with Iran to end the conflict, possibly before the November 3 congressional midterm elections. Trump spoke at a Gulf Cooperation Council meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. He noted that his son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff held talks with intermediaries, expressing hope Tehran accepts Washington's terms. He warned that without a deal, the situation would end "very quickly." Trump said US actions aimed to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, citing strikes on suspected nuclear sites and hinting at further attacks if activity is detected. He previously outlined two scenarios for Tehran: reaching an agreement or Iran's "complete obliteration."
