Trump rules out resuming strikes on Iran before election
Original: Trump says US will not resume military strikes on Iran before Nov. 3 elections
President Trump said the United States will not resume military strikes against Iran before the November 3 elections. The pledge comes amid heightened tensions with Tehran and follows earlier US strikes targeting Iranian-backed forces and Iranian military figures. Trump is instead emphasising diplomatic pressure and sanctions, while touting his administration's tough stance on Iran as a campaign talking point ahead of the vote.
Why now: The announcement, days before the presidential election, signals restraint on a major national security issue and is being weighed as campaign positioning.
