Limiting Trump's options against Iran after the defeat in the elections Reuters reported today in a report, citing two sources close to the governments of the Persian Gulf states, that the electoral defeat of the Republican Party limited the options of the Donald Trump administration against Iran. According to these sources, Trump, now weakened and facing a united Democratic Congress, was now more motivated to reach an agreement with Iran. According to these sources, the possibility of a full-scale attack on Iran seems less likely now. They added that increasingly limited attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities could provide a way for America to claim that it had achieved its goals and end the war; Especially since China increased its efforts to mediate and reach an agreement.
