President Donald Trump acknowledged that the military conflict with Iran significantly contributed to Republicans' widespread midterm election losses, but insisted he would take the exact same course of action again.

Trump's comments came after Vice President JD Vance publicly blamed the foreign war and its economic fallout for costing Republicans control of Congress.

While agreeing that the conflict alienated key voters, Trump defended the military intervention as necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Standing by his foreign policy decisions, the president insisted the military campaign was justified regardless of the political cost.
