President Donald Trump said the war with Iran will end “very soon” and that Iran must not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. In an interview with Kansas City radio station KCMO, he predicted that gasoline and diesel prices would fall once the conflict winds down, and he criticized the 2015 Iran nuclear deal as a “road to a nuclear weapon.” According to Epoch Times, Trump has previously said U.S. strikes would not resume before the November 3 midterm elections. The Hill reports he is weighing new military strikes on Iran after the midterms. According to CBS News, Qatari mediators are pushing for a U.S.-Iran deal days before the vote.
