Iran's President: Trump Doesn't Want War Ahead of 2020 Vote

Associated Press

   TEHRAN, IRAN - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Sunday that he
   doesn't believe the U.S. will pursue war with his country, because it
   will harm President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection bid.

   Rouhani said that Trump knows that war with Iran will "ruin" his
   chances of winning the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

   The Iranian leader added that war would be harmful to U.S. interests
   and those of its regional allies, as well as Iran.

   "I think the Americans aren't after war since they know what harm it
   could do them," said Rouhani in a news conference.

   He said that Persian Gulf nations like the United Arab Emirates,
   Bahrain and Qatar stood a lot to lose if conflict between Iran and the
   U.S. turns to war.
