On 2 November 2026 Trump said in Washington that there was no rush to decide whether to resume direct strikes on Iran, and that the US had crippled Iran's economy, per Anadolu. NBC News correspondent Garrett Haake reported that Trump answered 'No' when asked whether he was considering striking Iran again after the midterms, and Middle East Eye reported him saying the US is not going to attack Iran after the midterms. Several outlets also relayed his remarks that Iran wants a deal that could happen.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
