A report published by the Arabic-language outlet العربية claims Iran has a strategy to prolong the ongoing conflict and create difficulties for former President Donald Trump ahead of the US midterm elections. The report, published on Saturday, September 5, 2026, describes the approach as a deliberate effort to keep the war running and disrupt Trump’s political position.
According to العربية, the plan is designed to stretch the fighting rather than seek a quick resolution. The outlet suggests that Tehran sees value in maintaining instability as a way to influence the political calendar in Washington. By keeping tensions high, the report says, Iran aims to complicate Trump’s ability to claim progress or manage the situation before voters go to the polls.
The report does not provide specific details on how Iran would execute this strategy, nor does it cite named officials. It frames the move as part of a broader calculation by Iranian leadership about the benefits of a drawn-out confrontation. العربية’s coverage aligns with other regional reporting that has described Iran as willing to endure a long war, even as its population bears the cost.
