Donald Trump has acknowledged that the Iran war may have hurt Republicans in the US midterm elections, but insists he has no regrets about the decision. Defending the military campaign, the US president declared that he would make the same choice again, despite the political fallout for his party. Trump’s remarks raise fresh questions about the war’s impact on Republican support, voter sentiment and the administration’s political future. With the midterm setback putting pressure on the GOP, will Trump’s unwavering defence of the Iran campaign deepen divisions within his own party? His message is clear: he believes the price was worth paying.
