  "summary": "President Trump admitted that his war with Iran played a role in many voters' decisions to vote for Democrats during the midterm elections, according to CBS News.\n\nSpeaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump stated that Iran cannot do anything regarding its nuclear programme without US approval. While Tehran has reportedly submitted a nuclear proposal during ongoing peace talks, the Hindustan Times - World News reports that the US remains “locked and loaded” for potential strikes on Iran.\n\nFollowing the Democratic success in the midterms, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers delivered scorching monologues, according to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.",
