US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that the United States is holding constructive talks with Iran, adding, "We will not attack it before the midterm elections."

Trump said in statements to reporters before leaving Washington for Florida: “We accomplished a very good job in Iran.”

But he added, “We can end the matter very quickly with Tehran,” adding: “The question is: Do we want to resolve the matter or let it wither gradually?”

He continued that the United States will keep Iran in a state of "total paralysis," stressing that Washington is capable of controlling the country and seizing its oil.
