Iran Deliberately Delays Talks to Harm Trump in Elections

Iranian officials told Reuters that Tehran is deliberately delaying talks with the U.S. to weaken President Donald Trump politically before the November 3 midterm elections. This strategy is driven by fears of renewed attacks and deep distrust of Washington, hindering an end to the eight-month war. Iran has proposed a seven-day plan involving the Strait of Hormuz, but the U.S., influenced by Israel, insists on discussing Iran's nuclear program first. The delay is causing severe economic hardship within Iran, with high inflation and a devalued currency.
