Ali Motahari, the 10th Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Islamic Parliament, stated in an interview with the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) that, considering the various problems currently facing the United States, it is more likely that the US will ultimately choose to reach an agreement with Iran and accept many of the conditions proposed by Iran. He added that Trump will not launch an attack on Iran before the US election. He further stated that he believes the possibility of the US launching an attack on Iran after the election is also very low.
