'They Don't Know How Nice I've Been': Trump Warns Iran, Considers Response To Riyadh Airport Attack

Tennessee, October 11: US President Donald Trump expressed concern over Iran's potential escalation ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, while hinting at a swift US response to the recent attack on Riyadh airport. Speaking at a rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, Trump stated, "They're (Iran) sort of calming down. They'll probably do a little bit extra before the election, thinking it's going to hurt us, but we could end it really quick." He added, "They don't know how nice I've been to them."

Earlier, Trump had ruled out a pre-election attack on Iran, stating that the US would not strike the nation before the November 3 midterm elections. He emphasized that Iran was in a poor economic and military state, and the blockade would remain in full effect. The US had expelled Iran's ambassador over the attack, which killed 12 people and injured 309 at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
