President Trump declined to rule out potential United States military strikes against Iran prior to the upcoming midterm elections, reversing a stance he had taken less than a day earlier. When directly questioned about the possibility of pre-midterm strikes, Trump responded, "We may. I mean, we'll see."
The remarks marked a swift shift in position on potential military action in the Middle East. During the same discussion, Trump also touched upon unrelated policy and domestic matters, including a Russian diesel deal and the Fort Hood shooter.
