President Donald Trump announced on social media that the United States will not conduct attacks against Iran prior to the upcoming midterm elections on November 3. The announcement comes amid a protracted conflict that began earlier this year, involving strikes on Iranian military assets and a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. While the administration claims productive discussions are occurring, current polling suggests public approval for the conflict has declined as the elections approach.
