No regrets: Trump says Iran war was justified despite polls drubbing

Donald Trump acknowledged that US attacks on Iran and rising prices had contributed to major Republican losses in Tuesday’s midterm elections, while denying responsibility for the defeat. He blamed Iran for high gasoline prices and told Fox News that voters supported his policy but were unwilling to bear its short-term costs. Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Trump said he had done the right thing and would do it again. Republican strategist James Davis also cited unclear party messaging and the conflict’s economic fallout, including higher energy and diesel costs.
