Republican Midterm Defeat Could Push Trump to Resume War with Iran

ru.apa.az (Russian) —

A potential Republican defeat in the US midterm elections could push President Donald Trump to resume large-scale military action against Iran, according to Axios, citing an administration source. The US administration is divided on new strikes, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth supporting action, while Vice President James David Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner favor renewed talks. A White House spokesperson said election results won't affect Trump's decision. Qatar reportedly made progress in Tehran on resuming direct US-Iran negotiations, with contacts planned for October 31 in Doha. The midterm elections are scheduled for November 3.
