U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran is the world's top state sponsor of terrorism and that the United States will not allow it to obtain nuclear weapons. According to ChainCatcher, Trump said he has repeatedly urged Iran to negotiate and suggested a deal could be reached after the midterm elections.

Trump also said the United States is expanding its military protection capabilities, with ammunition reserves far above expectations, and plans to open a large ammunition factory. He added that oil flows are already at their highest level and that oil prices would fall sharply if the conflict with Iran ends.
