Donald Trump<\/a> has accused Iran of trying to stall on making a peace agreement by running down the clock before November\u2019s US midterm elections in the hope of getting better terms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey thought they were going to outwait me, you know, \u2018we\u2019ll out-wait him, he\u2019s got the midterms\u2019,\u201d the US president told a meeting of his cabinet at the White House on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He insisted the approach \u2013 supposedly aimed at ratcheting up pressure on the US and global economies by keeping the strategically vital strait of Hormuz closed \u2013 would fail, and claimed that Iran \u201cwants very much to make a deal\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t care about the midterms. Look what happened last night,\u201d Trump said, an apparent reference to the triumph of Ken Paxton, whom he had endorsed, over the sitting Republican senator John Cornyn in the Texas Republican Senate primary.<\/p>\n

His comments, at the 12th cabinet meeting of Trump\u2019s second term, came as talks aimed at ending the near-three-month conflict are said to be at a crucial stage. Current attempts to reach a deal had so far failed, he claimed, because \u201cwe\u2019re not satisfied with it\u201d.<\/p>\n
