Starting a war against Iran before the US elections will not be in Trump's favor.
Dr. Fouad Izadi, an expert on American affairs, in an interview with Nasim Online:
It is not in Trump's interest to start a war against Iran before the election, because it emphasizes the position of war, and public opinion in the United States is mostly against the war. But there are two exceptions: if they find out where the leader of the revolution is, they will launch an attack, and that will start a war and Iran will respond. The second exception is that they come to the conclusion that they lost the election, and it doesn't matter if the war starts or not.
