B[Trump said he would not attack Iran before the mid-term elections, but the risk of resumption of the war between the United States and Iran still exists] October 9, US President Trump said on October 8, local time, that the United States and Iran were having fruitful consultations and that the United States would not attack Iran before the mid-term elections on November 3. But just the day before, multiple U.S. officials said that the Pentagon had instructed the U.S. Central Command to complete relevant preparations in response to the possible resumption of large-scale military operations against Iran. Some analysts pointed out that at present, the possibility of a full-scale restart of the U.S. war against Iran cannot be completely ruled out, especially after the U.S. midterm elections, this probability may increase significantly. However, there are structural obstacles in the negotiations between the two sides on core issues, making it difficult to make substantial progress. The future direction of the situation between the United States and Iran remains uncertain.
