'Give them the hammer': Trump threatens Iran ahead of midterms
US President Donald Trump on Sunday reiterated his threat to resume strikes against Iran, telling a campaign rally that he may have to give Tehran "the hammer" at some unspecified time. Trump had previously said he would not strike Iran again before the upcoming US midterm elections.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Trump’s renewed threat against Iran, with France 24 foregrounding his rally remark about giving Tehran “the hammer” and noting the midterms, while South China Morning Post leads with Iran’s warning that any new war could last longer. The main difference is framing: France 24 centers Trump’s threat, while SCMP centers Iran’s response and the wider diplomatic context.
