Trump Links Republican Midterm Losses Partly to Iran War, Says He Has No Regrets

President Donald Trump has acknowledged that the war with Iran may have contributed to Republican losses in the US midterm elections, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Despite recognizing a possible political cost, Trump reportedly said he does not regret his decision to initiate the military campaign.
The remarks connect the administration's foreign policy decisions with the domestic political environment following the elections.
The Iran conflict has also become a significant source of uncertainty for energy markets, particularly because of concerns surrounding Persian Gulf shipping routes and oil supplies.
Trump's assessment represents his own interpretation of the election results. Establishing the extent to which the war influenced voting behavior would require additional electoral evidence.
The conflict's future direction remains relevant to investors assessing geopolitical risks, energy prices and broader economic conditions.
