Trump Defends Iran War, Promises $5,000 Payouts If GOP Wins Midterms

At a Republican midterm convention, President Donald Trump defended the ongoing war with Iran and promised $5,000 payouts to voters if the GOP wins the midterm elections. He said the war will end immediately after the midterms and predicted the conflict would conclude, while also calling the Iran nuclear deal one of the worst in history. Trump suggested the Strait of Hormuz could be renamed the Trump Strait, as traffic through the waterway has dried up. China opposed a US-pushed IAEA resolution on Iran and called for a return to dialogue.
