TREE NEWS update: US President Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly that he believes a deal with Iran will be reached after the US midterm elections, calling Tehran the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism and vowing it will never obtain nuclear weapons. He said he offered Iran comprehensive economic cooperation in exchange for ending its nuclear program when he took office, but Iran refused, and that he has a major decision to make on Iran. Trump thanked the UN Security Council for passing a resolution condemning Iranian attacks on shipping, adding that Iran is waiting for the midterm results.
Trump Says Iran Deal Likely After US Midterm Elections
AI take
Trump's framing ties the timing of any Iran deal directly to US domestic politics, which leaves the nuclear file hostage to an election calendar rather than to the negotiations themselves. That matters for anyone holding Iran-linked risk exposure, from oil to regional assets, because it signals no near-term resolution. The acknowledgment of a "major decision" pending, alongside the UN resolution, suggests the pressure track stays active in the interim. Whether Tehran engages before or after the vote is the open question.
