White House warns Trump may strike Iran if midterms humiliate him

korrespondent.net (Russian) —

White House sources suggest President Donald Trump may launch a major military operation against Iran if Republicans perform poorly in next week's midterm elections, according to Axios journalist Barak Ravid. An American official said Trump could take bold action if he feels humiliated or unsupported by the vote results. This message is reportedly being conveyed to Iranian representatives, who are told it is their best chance to negotiate with the US. A White House spokesperson denied that election outcomes would influence policy toward Tehran. This comes amid heightened US-Iran tensions and reports of a prepared week-long bombing plan with Israel.
