Iran's Election Timing and Trump's Concerns

The article discusses the impact of the U.S. midterm elections on President Donald Trump's decision regarding the war with Iran. It indicates that Trump denied that the elections were part of his calculations, but at the same time, he suggested that the war "will end as soon as the elections are over," accusing Iran of attempting to influence the results. Concerns within the U.S. administration had arisen from the beginning of the conflict regarding the election's influence, and efforts were made to de-escalate tensions before the voting to minimize electoral losses, amid hints of increased military operations after the elections if the escalation continued. On the other hand, Iran is exploiting the situation to escalate pressure on the United States by threatening the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to achieve political and economic gains—especially amid rising energy prices and declining American public support for the war, which affects Trump's voters, particularly with the increase in gasoline prices and the ongoing war debt. Although Trump anticipated that the war would end after the elections, experts warn that the conflict could continue for months afterward, and that the timing of its end depends on the ability to bear the costs and the negotiations on the ground.
