US media: If Republicans lose in the midterm elections, Trump may be more inclined to launch military action against Iran.

October 31 - According to Axios, a US official said that if Republicans suffer a crushing defeat in the midterm elections, Trump might be more inclined to order large-scale military action. The official said: "If Trump feels embarrassed or deprived of his rights, he will take bold actions. Everyone is telling the Iranians this. Now is the best time for them to reach a deal."
