Trump left open the possibility of new attacks against Iran.

Bernd DeBosman, BBC correspondent in Washington.

Before the midterm elections, many Democrats and some Republicans expressed their concern that the US would take further military action against Iran.

The results of the mid-term elections were a very negative and overwhelming response to Trump's policy towards Iran; Even he himself acknowledged that concerns about high gas prices may have played a role, although he has so far refused to accept any responsibility for the failure of Republican candidates at various levels of the election.

He repeatedly raised the possibility of the need to carry out more attacks; attacks that could damage Kahlang facilities; One of the few sites linked to Iran's nuclear program that was not the target of a ground attack during "Operation Rage Hamas" earlier this year. Earlier in a phone interview with Politico magazine, Trump hinted at the possibility of a future event.

He said: "We will review the situation and if we see an opportunity to act, we will do something that is in the interest of this country."

A return to a full-scale military operation against Iran would be opposed by most Americans. However, Trump rejected the view that his decision to act against Iran was wrong.

He said: "I am absolutely sure that my decision regarding Iran, which is in the long-term interest of our country and even the world, was absolutely right and still is right."
