On October 29, U.S. financial media Semafor reported that President Trump appears willing to give diplomatic efforts with Iran another chance, but at the same time, he is seriously considering further military strikes after the elections. A U.S. government official revealed that the Trump administration is currently negotiating a temporary peace agreement, although there are still many obstacles to progress. Trump confirmed that Vice President Pence had sent a letter to Iran in an attempt to restart peace talks, but Trump downplayed this move, suggesting it was primarily to address humanitarian needs. The official stated that if diplomatic efforts fail, the U.S. is prepared to resume military actions shortly after the midterm elections, adding, 'The president can give the order at any time.' Many within the government are skeptical about resuming military actions against Iran. The official noted that Trump is 'the most open-minded' person regarding escalating military actions, but even so, he still has reservations.
