Washington: US President Donald Trump has warned that Washington could shut down Iran at any moment, asserting that the United States holds a military advantage over Tehran. He reiterated that Iran would never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, while adding that his administration was currently exercising restraint.
Speaking at a final midterm election rally in Salina, Kansas, Trump criticised the 2015 Iran nuclear deal negotiated under former president Barack Obama.
He also claimed that oil prices in the US were lower than under previous administrations and that illegal immigration across the southern border had been brought under control.
Turning to domestic politics, Trump attacked the Democratic Party and campaigned for Republican candidates. He urged supporters to vote in person on Tuesday rather than rely on mail-in ballots.
