Trump: U.S. won't attack Iran before midterms

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on Trump’s statement that the U.S. will not attack Iran before the midterm elections, with BBC, CBS, CNBC, Axios and the New York Times all foregrounding that pledge and several noting its effect on oil prices or markets. A second cluster, led by the Atlantic and Axios, emphasizes the earlier reporting that military plans or preparations for strikes had been under consideration before the announcement. The Washington Post and NBC frame the episode around Trump’s shifting rhetoric, while the Guardian’s covered extracts are more interpretive and, in one item, only mention the Iran pledge in passing.
