U.S. President Donald Trump said he ‘no longer wants a deal’ with Iran, while NBC reported that the US military is bracing for a possible attack against the country. Trump and his national security team have discussed resuming large-scale strikes in Iran before the November midterm elections, with such action possibly taking place in the coming weeks. The report said the talks are ongoing, citing a U.S. official and another person familiar with the discussions.
At a campaign rally in San Antonio, Trump said, “I think the deal isn’t really something that I want to do, but they’re willing to offer us anything to stop.” He also said that U.S. special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, who has been involved in efforts to negotiate an agreement, had been “doing very well.”
