Trump says US won't attack Iran before midterms as military drafts new plans

President Trump said Thursday the US will not strike Iran before the Nov. 3 midterm elections, citing "productive discussions" with Tehran. He said Iran remains in "very bad condition" economically and militarily, and the naval blockade will continue while oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. The military has drafted options for three days of strikes, though Trump has repeatedly vetoed resuming the war. Oil prices, which rose on reports strikes were being weighed, fell Friday.
