Trump dismisses pressure, says he can outwait Iran

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he was unconcerned about the political fallout of an extended ​conflict with Iran, Reuters writes.

He stated that Iranian leaders had miscalculated if they thought ‌the November midterm elections would force him into a deal.

“They thought they were going to outwait me,” Trump said at a White House cabinet meeting, referring to Iran’s leadership. “You know, ‘We’ll outwait ​him. He’s got the midterms.’ I don’t care about the midterms.”
