According to Axios, a U.S. official said Donald Trump could become more inclined to order large-scale military action if Republicans suffer a heavy defeat in the midterm elections. The official said Trump tends to take bold action when he feels embarrassed or stripped of power, adding that this message has been conveyed to Iran and that now is the best time for Tehran to reach a deal. A White House official, however, said the election outcome would not affect Trump’s decision-making on Iran. The report was cited by Odaily, which attributed the item to Axios and Jin10.
