Ali Muthari, deputy speaker of the Islamic Republic's 10th parliament, said he sees the possibility of a US deal with the Islamic Republic and Washington accepting many of Tehran's terms as more important than a military strike. In an interview with ISNA published on Monday, October 26, Muthari said: "Given the problems that America has, it is more likely that they will eventually reach an agreement and accept many of Iran's conditions." He also predicted that Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America, would not attack Iran until the elections were held in that country, and he saw the possibility of an attack after the elections as weak.
