Trump Pledges No Iran Strike Before Midterms, Claims Hormuz at 22M Barrels

⏱️ TRUMP — Pentagon ordered pre-midterm strikes; Trump just cancelled them. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Trump's public pledge inverts the CENTCOM directive from hours ago — either strike prep was leverage, or the president overruled his own military. The 22M barrel Hormuz claim contradicts the 4-transit operational reality — propaganda or separate accounting. "Productive discussions" confirms Qatar's channel is live. Tehran now has 26 days to negotiate from strength.
