Trump told KCMO radio that the US‑Iran conflict would be resolved before the midterms.
He said, "It’s going to get wrapped up soon," adding that the war had reached a point of closure.
The former president also warned that the United States would not launch a strike against Iran until after the November 3 elections.
He added that a guarantee is needed that Iran will never develop or possess a nuclear weapon.
The comments come as Trump, who has repeatedly urged restraint, faces a crowded field in the Republican nomination race for president.
Observers note that the timing of the remarks coincides with the campaign’s focus on foreign policy, and the next step will be the Republican primaries in early December.
