Trump Says U.S. May Act Against Iran Before Midterm Elections

President Donald Trump said the United States might act against Iran before the midterm elections, leaving the possibility open in a new answer about the timing of military action. He was asked why action against Iran was being delayed until after the elections and why the United States was not acting already. Trump responded that the United States might act and would see. The answer followed his Thursday statement that the United States would not attack Iran at any time before the midterm elections.
