Trump says he does not regret Iran war despite impact it may have on midterm elections
He made similar comments on Wednesday, alleging Tehran was trying to influence the elections that will determine whether Trump's Republican Party retains control of Congress.
US President Donald Trump asserted he has no regrets over invading Iran, regardless of the conflict's potential impact on the upcoming midterm elections. During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump downplayed the concept of regret, stating, "You can always question yourself a little bit." He emphasized his willingness to repeat his actions, saying, "If I had it do again, I would do exactly as I did."
Trump dismissed claims that his supporters were demoralized by the war, insisting they were proud of his stance against Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons. He reiterated his belief that the conflict would conclude shortly after the midterm elections. Trump also suggested that Iran was attempting to sway the electoral outcomes, which could determine whether his Republican Party maintains control of Congress.
The surge in oil and gas prices resulting from the US-Israeli war on Iran has become a significant concern for Republicans ahead of the elections. The US and Israel launched military strikes against Iran on February 28, which Iran retaliated by targeting Israel and US bases in the region. The ongoing conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and displacement of millions.
Trump's war objectives centered around curbing Iran's nuclear capabilities, despite the fact that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons and asserts its uranium enrichment activities are for peaceful purposes. The US maintains a nuclear arsenal.
