US President Trump stated that he is in the "decision phase" regarding Iran.

Hakan Çopur October 4, 2026 • Updated: October 4, 2026 Trump answered the questions of the press while leaving the White House for the rally he would hold in the state of Ohio. As the midterm elections scheduled for November 3 will take place, Trump responded to the question about the current state of the US war with Iran, saying, "We have officially destroyed Iran. I am at a decision point regarding Iran now. The only question is: Will we handle this process by an easy way or a difficult way?" The US President later made a comment that Iran has "effectively given up on its nuclear weapons plans." Trump stated that the US daylight saving time system should end. Stating that the US daylight saving time system should be abolished, Trump called for the bill regulating this matter to be passed by the Senate. The US President assessed that the application of this system imposes a great burden on the country's economy and disrupts people's lifestyles, saying, "We want to get rid of the absurd practice of setting the clocks forward and backward twice a year and the tradition." Trump, who explained that most of the public wants to benefit from more daylight but the weather gets dark too early when the winter time arrives, criticized Republican Senator Tom Cotton, who is blocking the bill in the Senate. Recalling that the bill had previously passed the House of Representatives, Trump said, "The House accepted it with over 80% of the votes. The bill has been waiting in the Senate for some time, and I hope we can get Tom Cotton to act. Tom Cotton is blocking the bill, he shouldn't do this." Yesterday, Trump shared Cotton's cell phone number on his social media account and called on voters to pressure Cotton not to block the bill. The daylight saving time system, applied in different ways since World War I in the US, is implemented nationwide by a federal law enacted in 1966.
