Iran Reportedly Delaying US Negotiations to Weaken Trump Before Midterms Senior Iranian officials have told Reuters that Tehran is deliberately prolonging negotiations with Washington to avoid giving President Donald Trump a political victory before the November 3 US midterm elections. Iranian leaders reportedly believe renewed American or Israeli military strikes remain possible. The officials said Tehran is preparing for further confrontation while maintaining diplomatic negotiations without making major concessions. The strategy comes as Iran faces severe economic pressure and continued restrictions on oil exports.
