US official: Iran's bet that the midterm elections will weaken Trump's leverage is a miscalculation.

BlockBeats news, September 27: According to Fox News, Trump officials stated that if Iran believes rising prices and the midterm elections will weaken U.S. President Trump's leverage in negotiations to end this nearly seven-month conflict, then it has miscalculated.

Although no breakthrough was announced at the end of this week's three-hour talks, the U.S. government remains confident that increasing economic pressure will push Iran toward reaching an agreement. U.S. State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott said President Trump holds all the cards.
