Axios: Trump May Resort to Major Military Operation Against Iran if Republicans Lose Midterm Elections

Al-Taj News – The Axios website quoted a US official as saying on Saturday that US President Donald Trump might be more inclined to order the execution of a major military operation in the event Republicans suffer a significant loss in the midterm elections.

The official said, according to Axios: “If Trump feels embarrassed or disenfranchised, he will do something bold. That is what everyone is telling the Iranians; their best shot to get a deal is right now.”

In this context, the draft of a negotiating proposal between the United States and Iran includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz to international navigation within 7 days of reaching an initial understanding, discussing the fate of the highly enriched uranium stockpile, alongside establishing an international mechanism to ensure the implementation of mutual obligations, while proposing a potential role for China as a guarantor of any agreement.
