Iran’s response over the Strait of Hormuz could influence what happens on election day, Democratic Representative Jim Himes said as President Donald Trump rejected the latest proposal from Tehran to reopen the waterway and restart talks.
Speaking on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, the Connecticut congressman said: “The Iranians now, in some sense, control what happens on Election Day.”
Mr Himes made the comment in response to the dispute over Iran’s proposal, following Mr Trump’s rejection of the offer.
