Trump's defeat in the elections complicated his decision to attack Iran again The New York Times wrote in a report that the heavy defeat of the Republicans in the midterm elections, S.J. Dee Vance saw them as the main reason for the war with Iran, increasing the political cost of renewing military strikes against Tehran for Trump. According to this newspaper, Trump is now between two difficult options: resuming the bombing at the risk of an uncontrollable escalation of the war, or returning to negotiations from a weaker position. Meanwhile, Iran maintained its levers of pressure by resisting attacks, maintaining its nuclear capability and limiting traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. The New York Times also emphasizes that the military option has become more expensive for Trump, referring to the cost of the war of 47 billion dollars, a lot of damage to American bases and the possibility that the new Congress will oppose the financing of the war; However, the strengthening of the US and Israeli military formations shows that there is still the possibility of another attack. / New York Times.
