[72617] Donald Trump clarifies to Iran: Midterm elections will not dictate my foreign policy

Donald Trump clarifies to Iran: "I will not allow you to obtain nuclear weapons"

In a series of statements released on May 27, 2026, United States President Donald Trump clarified that his administration is not under time pressure due to the upcoming election cycle. According to a report by the Middle East Spectator, known for its sharp criticism of the U.S. administration, Trump rejected Iranian assessments that he is in a hurry to end conflicts due to midterm election considerations, saying: "Iran thinks I want the war to end because of the midterm elections, that's not true, I don't care about that at all".

In another report brought by Disclose.tv, it was highlighted that Trump sent a message of deterrence to Tehran: "They thought they were going to wait me out... I'm not worried about the midterm elections". The President noted that he does not intend to rush to reach any agreement under non-optimal conditions.

Conversely, Abu Ali Express in English, a channel presenting a position supporting Trump's policy toward Iran, analyzed the remarks as a fundamental shift in discourse: "Trump speaks the language of the Middle East and clarifies to the Iranians that he has all the time in the world, and that even the U.S. midterm elections will not sway him from his decision, because he will not allow them to possess nuclear weapons."

The FXStreet network also confirmed the remarks and reported that President Trump clearly stated he would not allow the Iranian regime to "wait him out" in hopes of political concessions, which highlights the hardline position of the administration in Washington regarding Iran's nuclear threats.
