Trump Rejects Iran Ceasefire, Plans More Bombing After Midterms

In a development that could heighten tensions in West Asia, The Wall Street Journal has reported that US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal for a seven-day ceasefire. 

According to the report, which cited US officials, Trump has told aides that he expects to resume bombing Iran after the November midterm elections. This follows his threat against Iran during his address to the United Nations General Assembly earlier this week.

“I have a big



decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before? Maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world. 

Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic, and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? But I believe we'll make a deal right after the election, because it doesn't make sense for them not to,” Trump told the Assembly on September 22.
