Trump Signals Possible Iran Deal Over Strikes

President Donald Trump raised doubts Monday about resuming military strikes against Iran, suggesting a negotiated deal with Tehran could happen instead. He said "no" when asked if he was considering attacking Iran after Tuesday's US midterm elections. Trump's shift comes as high gasoline prices tied to the Iran conflict weigh on voters. Iranian negotiators held talks in Doha with Qatari mediators Sunday, and Vice President JD Vance reported "good conversations" with Iranians. Trump reiterated his demand that Iran never possess a nuclear weapon. Trump claimed recent strikes killed Iranian leaders and that Tehran had asked for them to stop. He spoke at the Washington Reflecting Pool in his closing argument before the midterms.
