Why Trump and Iran may now be waiting out the midterms
CNN reports that Washington and Tehran may both be holding off on major moves over Iran's nuclear programme until after the US midterm elections. The argument is that domestic political timing shapes diplomacy: President Trump has little incentive to escalate or concede before voters go to the polls, while Iran may calculate that waiting could yield better terms or a weaker negotiating position in Washington.
Why now: Ongoing tensions over Iran's nuclear programme are being framed through the lens of upcoming US midterm elections.
