  "account": "US President Donald Trump claimed on Wednesday that Iran is attempting to influence the upcoming midterms elections in the United States, with the hopes of weakening the Congress for their advantage. Speaking to reporters before departing for Dallas, Trump stated, \"I think the war will end immediately after the election.\" He further alleged that Iran is desperate to prevent a strong Congress from being elected, as they desire to have their nuclear weapon in place. Trump's comments come as oil prices reach above $100 a barrel due to renewed US-Iran military action. He acknowledged that Americans are paying higher prices for fuel, but reiterated his focus on preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.",
  "summary": "“I think the war will end immediately after the election because they can't hold out any longer,” Trump stated as he prepared to board Air Force One.",
