> Iranian officials are pessimistic about reaching a ceasefire before the US midterm elections in November, Bloomberg reported, citing sources. Talks held in New York last week on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly made no significant progress, and Tehran sees a high likelihood of the conflict escalating after the vote. Trump has said he believes the war could end immediately after, or even before, the elections.
