US President Donald Trump said tonight that the reasons for the loss in the midterm elections are related to the fact that the voters did not like the war in Iran, the fact that the price of fuel has risen, and in addition, according to him, there is a surprisingly large rejection towards Israel.
Regarding JD Vance's post on social networks that claimed that the reasons for the loss were the war in Iran and relations with Israel, Trump replied that he does not dispute that. Regarding the war with Iran, Trump said that historically it would be a very good decision, but maybe not for today and tomorrow. According to him, if Iran had nuclear weapons during his tenure, he would have received much harsher criticism. When asked if he trusted Pete Hesseth, he replied yes and that they had won two wars together (Venezuela and Iran).
Trump stated that he is not looking to escalate the war with Iran and he does not see any reason to resume fighting at the moment. In response to a question about the presence of nuclear material in the hands of the Iranians, he replied that they have nothing and that the material is buried under thousands of tons of rock. Trump added that all the countries that the US defended in the war will pay back all the costs because without them they would not exist, and in particular he noted that Israel did not exist except because of him. According to him, Iran was ready to make a deal that would have been reached if not for the elections, and in any case, according to him, Iran would make a deal.
Trump also said that Iran has other problems at the moment and they are not interested in Mount Mokhosh, and if it was necessary to act there, which is not the case at the moment according to him, they would be done with it within an hour.
