Trump on a Possible Attack on Iran After the Midterms: "Anything Is Possible"

According to ILNA, citing Reuters and reflected by Donya-e-Eqtesad on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 (6 Aban 1405), Donald Trump said "anything is possible" when asked whether the United States could attack Iran again after the midterm congressional elections. The elections take place next Tuesday, November 3 (12 Aban). Al Jazeera also used the same remark as the headline of one of its live updates.

At an election rally on Tuesday, October 27 (5 Aban), Trump also said he had never favored the short-term ceasefire with Iran and considered it a "waste of time". The report says that agreement collapsed shortly after it was announced and did not reach its goals, including the start of nuclear talks. The remarks do not by themselves change Iran's official position, and the report names no specific decision or timetable for military action; oil and currency markets have tended to react to such statements.
