Summary

US President Donald Trump said on Monday that a settlement with Iran "could happen". In a Truth Social post, he said oil prices were dropping "like a rock", down almost $10 a barrel, because people felt there would not be a war with Iran, and that "Iran wants a settlement, as soon as possible. It could happen." On the eve of the US midterm elections, CBS News reports that Trump repeated that a deal "could happen" even after new US strikes, and Tehran called America's response to its latest proposal "not convincing". Attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz have continued.
