US-Iran Conflict: Trump Links War End to Midterms, Threatens Nuclear Site
President Trump has publicly linked the conclusion of military action against Iran to the upcoming US midterm elections, signaling a potential de-escalation or negotiated end post-election, while simultaneously reiterating a threat to strike a nuclear-related site.
