US President Donald Trump<\/a> said he did not regret going to war against Iran despite the impact the conflict may have on the November US midterm elections.<\/p>\n

“I don’t believe in the word ‘regret.’ You can always question yourself a little bit,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham when asked if he regretted the Iran war due to the impact it may have on the elections.<\/p>\n

“If I had it do again, I would do exactly as I did,” Trump said in the interview broadcast on Thursday on The Ingraham Angle show.<\/p>\n

Trump dismissed suggestions that some of his supporters were upset and demoralized about the war.<\/p>\n

Trump reiterated his thinking that the war will end immediately after the midterm election<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It ends right after the election,” Trump said in the interview. He made similar comments on Wednesday, alleging Tehran<\/a> was trying to influence the elections that \u200cwill \u2060determine whether Trump’s Republican Party retains control of Congress.<\/p>\n

The rise in oil and gas prices due to the US-Israeli war on Iran has \u200bbecome a major issue for Republicans in the lead-up to the elections.<\/p>\n

The US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28 and Iran responded with its own strikes on Israel and Gulf states that host US bases. US-Israeli strikes on Iran \u200band Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed thousands and displaced millions.<\/p>\n

Trump has cited weakening Iran’s nuclear capabilities as one of his war objectives. Iran does not have nuclear weapons and says its uranium enrichment program is for peaceful purposes. The US \u2060is \u200bnuclear-armed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US President Donald Trump said he did not regret going to war against Iran despite the impact the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":612414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[54,42,87,92,26742,43,3336,40,38,41,39,76279],"class_list":["post-612413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-donald-trump","tag-headlines","tag-iran","tag-iran-nuclear","tag-midterm-elections","tag-news","tag-tehran","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-us-iran"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=612413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/612414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=612413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=612413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=612413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
