Trump news at a glance: President launches accusations against Iran, threats against Oman as peace talks in limbo | Trump administration

Donald Trump has accused Iran of trying to delay a peace deal by delaying the US midterm elections in November, in the hope of securing better terms.

“They thought they were going to wait for me, you know, ‘we’re going to wait for him, he has the midterm elections,'” the US president said during a meeting of his cabinet at the White House on Wednesday.

He insisted the approach – supposedly aimed at increasing pressure on the US and global economies by keeping the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz closed – would fail, and claimed Iran “really wants to make a deal”.

“I don’t care about the midterms. Look what happened last night,” Trump said, apparently referring to the triumph of Ken Paxton, whom he supported, over incumbent Republican Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas Republican Senate primary.

His comments, during the 12th cabinet meeting of Trump’s second term, come as talks aimed at ending the nearly three-month conflict are reportedly at a crucial stage. Current attempts to reach an agreement have so far failed, he said, because “we are not satisfied with it”.
