After the defeat of the Republicans in the congressional elections, the differences of opinion on the war with Iran increased in the Trump administration, writes the Wall Street Journal. The publication states that some officials propose to increase the attacks before seeking a peace agreement, while others are in favor of reducing the operation. Against this background, Vice President J. Dee Vance publicly linked the party's defeat to the war, which Trump continues to support. Vance privately opposed the conflict from the start, the newspaper noted, even as he publicly defended the military campaign and led peace talks. Trump admitted that the rise in gas prices affected the results of the election, but said that he would decide to go to war again.
