U.S. President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on the Iranian regime on Thursday, accusing Tehran of attempting to manipulate oil prices ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. In a series of tweets, Trump alleged that Iran was staging "fake attacks" and laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz to drive up oil prices and influence the election results. "Iran is doing everything it can to raise the price of oil before the midterm elections in the United States," Trump wrote. "They are even faking fake attacks, laying mines and everything else, even though more oil is now passing through the Strait of Hormuz than before the conflict began."
The President also accused the Tehran regime of mass killings of protesters, stating, "They continue to kill protesters and anyone who gets in their way. This is a truly evil regime, and I can only hope that the American public and the world will understand how evil it is." He claimed that 75,000 protesters had been killed in less than seven months, expressing dismay at the perceived indifference of "the world and the Democratic Party."
Trump concluded his remarks with a firm declaration: "Iran must not have nuclear weapons, and it will never have nuclear weapons." This statement comes amid his earlier assertion that the confrontation with Iran would end "very soon."
In parallel, The New York Times reported that the U.S. military and the IDF have completed detailed operational plans to renew extensive strikes inside Iran. According to the report, the planned action is expected to be implemented after the U.S. midterm elections and would include targeted attacks on nuclear facilities, national energy infrastructure, and strategic storage sites for missiles and drones.
