The Republican defeat in the mid-term elections in the US was "in general" due to the war with Iran and the increase in fuel prices, said Donald Trump. - Mr. President, Vice President Vance believes that the reason for the Republican defeat in the elections was the war with Iran. - I think, in general, he is right: in the short term, it raised gasoline prices a little. And that's probably true. But at the same time, if I had to make the decision again, I would do the same thing again because in the long run it's the only option. Iran must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.
