Trump: The US elections did not allow an agreement with Iran.
The head of state claims that holding the congressional elections became an obstacle to reaching an agreement with Tehran. Donald Trump said that Washington and Tehran were one step away from signing the relevant document. In an interview with CBS, he added that they almost agreed on the terms: without these votes, the contract would be ready today or in the next few days.
The results of the vote on November 3 determined the composition of all 435 members of the House of Representatives and 35 senators. According to CNN projections, Democrats will win a majority in the lower house, and Bloomberg assumes the party will take the Senate, taking at least 51 seats. Trump publicly congratulated his opponents and noted that Republicans would have performed better if he had personally participated in the election.
Let's remember: on February 28, the United States and Israel attacked Iranian positions, and Tehran responded with a retaliatory attack. There is currently a truce, but the conflict is still unresolved and the likelihood of new hostilities remains.
