On October 1st, the website of the American magazine Time published an exclusive interview with U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump stated that after the midterm elections in November, the United States might increase military strikes against Iran.
As the midterm elections approach, the Republican Party led by Trump faces significant pressure to maintain control of Congress. In recent weeks, Trump has said that he believes Iran is trying to delay negotiations until after the midterm elections, “waiting to see how I will perform in the midterms.”
"In the interview, when asked if he would increase 'the bombing intensity' against Iran after the mid-term election, Trump answered that "it's possible." "
When the reporter asked for more details, Trump said, “I can’t tell you this, because in fact, you are asking where we plan to bomb.”
Trump also downplayed concerns about the United States' ammunition stockpiles, saying that the country "has many weapons," and indicated that it has been replenishing its stockpiles over the past six months.
"Some types of ammunition stock are indeed less than other types. But we have medium and high-level weapons with immense power, which is more powerful than any time before." Trump said.
