Kayhan, a newspaper aligned with the Iranian regime, used its editorial today to call for stopping the energy trade and raising fuel prices in the US ahead of the mid-term elections as a way to "restrain Trump". The newspaper claimed that keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed and cutting off oil dollars is the only method that works for Washington, and wrote that the key to curbing "the gambler from the White House" lies not in negotiations but in raising the economic costs of America before the vote.
