President Donald Trump said he is not considering another U.S. military strike on Iran after the midterm elections, responding to a question about post-election action as he also discussed oil prices.

The exchange focused on a post-election scenario. Trump’s answer addressed whether he was considering further strikes after the midterms. It was a statement about consideration, not an announcement of an attack.

Trump said the U.S. had fought Iran and won, then characterized the fighting as limited: “This is not a war. We hardly fought.” He said events were going well and linked that assessment to falling oil prices.

His comments put the military question alongside energy prices.
