Trump weighs next move in Iran war after midterm losses

President Donald Trump faces a decision on his eight-month war against Iran after Democrats won the midterm elections, a wave partly driven by voter dissatisfaction with the conflict. Trump suggested election losses won't affect his calculations, saying "we're very much locked in." The war has caused tens of billions in regional damage and raised global gas prices. Trump could maintain current defensive strikes, target Iran's nuclear facility, or launch massive infrastructure attacks, though escalation risks worsening energy costs. Regional officials fear Trump may feel emboldened with little political left to lose. About 6 in 10 voters said U.S. military action against Iran was the "wrong decision," though only one-third called it crucial to their vote. Vice President JD Vance blamed the war for Republican losses, while Trump said he would have done nothing differently.
