Trump says US will not strike Iran before midterm elections

US President Donald Trump stated that the US will not attack Iran before the November 3 midterm elections. He mentioned ongoing productive discussions with Iran and emphasized that no attack would occur prior to the elections. Meanwhile, Iran is reviewing the US response to its seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with recent reports of massive explosions in the region possibly caused by sea mines. US Vice President JD Vance called for Iran to significantly reduce its uranium enrichment as part of a potential deal, while Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian dismissed negotiations as futile.
