US government official: Iran's bet that the midterm elections will weaken Trump's leverage is a miscalculation

Odaily News: According to Fox News, a Trump official stated that if Iran believes rising prices and the midterm elections will weaken US President Trump's leverage in negotiations to end this nearly seven-month conflict, then it has miscalculated. Although no breakthrough was announced at the end of this week's three-hour talks, the US government still expressed confidence that increasing economic pressure will push Iran toward reaching an agreement. US State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott said that President Trump holds all the cards. (Jinshi)
