Trump says he does not know if Iran is going to 'give up yet'

Trump said Iran is doing very poorly as the war strains oil exports and pushes up prices, a growing issue for Republicans before midterm elections.

  • President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he does not know if Iran is going to "give up yet," but cast the country as doing "very poorly" in its war with Washington.
  • The conflict began on the 28th when Washington and Israel attacked Iran, which responded with strikes on Israel and Gulf states. A blockade has since cut Iran's oil exports and financial lifeline.
  • US-Israeli strikes on Iran and Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed thousands and displaced millions. The blockade closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted one-fifth of global crude oil and LNG supplies.
  • The president of Iran told the General Assembly last week that Tehran would never surrender to Washington's demands, signaling defiance despite the blockade and mounting economic pressures.
  • Rising oil prices from the war pose a major challenge for the Republican Party ahead of midterm elections, as Trump continues to offer shifting goals and timelines for the military campaign against Iran.
