Trump says he does not regret Iran war despite impact it may have on midterm elections

Trump said he would make the same decision again and predicted the conflict would end after the midterm elections, despite advisers warning it could last longer.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump told Fox News host Laura Ingraham he holds no regrets about the war against Iran, stating he would take identical actions if given the opportunity again.
  • Trump claimed that without the ongoing war, Iran would have obtained a nuclear weapon and alleged Tehran would have "wiped out Israel," "wiped out the Middle East," and begun attacking American cities.
  • Dismissing suggestions that supporters are demoralized, Trump said they are "very proud" he is preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons; rising oil prices due to the conflict have become a significant issue for Republicans before the elections.
  • During the interview on "The Ingraham Angle," Trump predicted the conflict will "end right after the election," though he declined to confirm specific timing when asked about reports suggesting it could continue into 2029.
  • Former Republican congressman Joe Walsh posted on X that Trump is "incapable of feeling regret," while U.S.-Israeli strikes and regional attacks have killed thousands and displaced millions since the war began in February.
