Trump says no regret over Iran war despite midterm electoral cost

President Trump has publicly stated he does not regret the war with Iran, acknowledging potential electoral costs in the upcoming midterms and linking the conflict's conclusion to these elections. While he has indicated a temporary de-escalation by refraining from a full-scale assault due to political timing, US advisors reportedly warn of a prolonged conflict potentially extending beyond his term, with Tehran showing no signs of backing down and increasing weapons production. The duration and scope of the conflict remain uncertain, influenced by both US domestic political pressures and Iran's continued resistance.
