Trump holds off on Iran strikes ahead of midterms despite Israeli talks
Donald Trump has made it clear there will be no attacks before the midterm elections. That’s next Tuesday.
But he has been in talks with the Israelis.
We saw Pete Hegseth in Tel Aviv in the last few days talking with Benjamin Netanyahu.
The speculation was that they were discussing the possibility of an attack before the midterms.
Donald Trump says he’s ruled that out. That’s simply not going to happen.
But he has been presented with a number of military options about what can happen next, and they range from low-level to using the mother of all bombs, MOAB.
He’s talked about this on the election trail during his rallies, that he could use this high-explosive device, and of course, he’s talked about wiping Iran off the face of the map.
He did that during his speech to the United Nations just last month.
But as far as the White House is concerned, they’re making the point that what happens next is really in the hands of the commander in chief, Donald Trump.
And they are saying very clearly that the conflict in Iran, as far as the United States is concerned, will be over soon, one way or the other, reports AL Jazeera.
