IRNA calls Trump's 'I may wipe out Iran' a warmonger's boast, Shargh calls it a 'claim', An-Nahar quotes it straight

Trump told TIME that strikes on Iran could resume after the US midterms. Iran's president said Tehran will never walk away from talks. Three of five reports put a judging word on Trump's remarks; none puts one on Pezeshkian's.

Levant & Iran Iran United States

What Trump said. In an interview with TIME, carried by An-Nahar, Trump said strikes on Iran could resume after the US midterm elections: "I may wipe out Iran, and that is possible." He said the US has closed the Strait of Hormuz to Iran and controls it. No report we hold tests that.

What Pezeshkian said. Iran's president said Tehran has "never shied away from talks" and never will, "although the United States has targeted our country three times despite having signed an agreement". An-Nahar and The Jerusalem Post both carry this through Tasnim, a semi-official Iranian agency.

Four outlets, four ways to name it.

Outlet Trump's remarks Pezeshkian's remarks
IRNA (state agency) "warmonger", "boasts", "baseless", in its own voice not carried
Shargh "Trump's claim" in the headline not carried
An-Nahar threat quoted straight; Hormuz line called "allegations" "said"
The Jerusalem Post not carried "he was quoted as saying"

Three of 5 reports put a judging word on Trump. None puts one on Pezeshkian. Only An-Nahar carries both leaders.

What is not settled. Two Iranian officials told Reuters, An-Nahar reports, that Tehran has told allied groups in Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq to prepare. No other report we hold confirms or denies it. No report sets out the three strikes or the agreement Pezeshkian names. We do not hold the TIME interview itself, or any US outlet's account of it.

This story is about whether the United States resumes bombing Iran, and whether talks can stop it.

How it got here. Iran and the United States have been adversaries since Iran's 1979 revolution. In 2015 Iran agreed a nuclear deal with the US, China, France, Germany, Russia, Britain and the EU: limits on uranium enrichment in exchange for lifting sanctions. In May 2018 Donald Trump, in his first term, took the US out of the deal and reimposed sanctions; Iran then went beyond the deal's limits. After the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 and the war in Gaza that followed, Israel and Iran struck each other directly in April and October 2024. In June 2025 Israel launched a bombing campaign on Iran, the US struck Iranian nuclear sites, and a ceasefire followed. The reports we hold describe a war between the US and Iran and a ceasefire now in question. Shargh writes that in April the risk of soaring energy prices pushed Trump back from open conflict towards diplomacy. We hold no report setting out each round of fighting since.

The actors. Trump has been US president since January 2025. Masoud Pezeshkian has been Iran's elected president since 2024; final authority over war and the nuclear programme rests with Iran's Supreme Leader, not the president. Iran backs armed groups in Lebanon (Hezbollah), Yemen (the Houthis) and Iraq. The Strait of Hormuz, between Iran and Oman, is the only sea route out of the Gulf for much of the world's oil.

What is at stake. The US midterm elections on 3 November 2026 decide control of Congress. Polls show the war is unpopular with Americans, An-Nahar reports, and fuel prices worry voters. If strikes resume, Iranian officials told Reuters, Tehran plans a wider response, including countries that support US operations.

Where it stands. Trump has rejected Iran's latest ceasefire proposal. Tehran is studying the US reply.

What is being argued about

  • Whether US strikes on Iran resume after the November midterms
  • Trump's claim that the US controls the Strait of Hormuz
  • Pezeshkian's line that Iran will not walk away from talks
  • An unconfirmed report that Iran told allies in Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq to prepare

Three reports frame Trump's words as a claim or a boast. None frames Pezeshkian's words that way. Only one report puts both leaders side by side.

The only report that carries his grievance: the US "targeted our country three times despite having signed an agreement". Its headline leaves that half out.
"We have never shied away from talks, and we never will, although the United States has targeted our country three times despite having signed an agreement," he was quoted as saying.
Conciliatory half leads: The headline takes the openness to talks; the grievance in the same sentence is left out of it — “Iran will 'never' shy away from dialogue with US”
US named as actor, in a quote: US strikes appear only in the president's words, hedged as reported speech — “although the United States has targeted our country three times despite having signed an agreement," he was quoted as saying”
Headline vs body: The headline carries the openness to talks. The grievance in the same sentence of the quote is left out of the headline. — “although the United States has targeted our country three times despite having signed an agreement”
