After the Republican defeat in the midterm elections, Donald Trump is choosing what to do with Iran. The US president admitted that the war and the resulting rise in gasoline prices may be one of the reasons for his party's defeat. At the same time, he does not refuse the decision to open a conflict: Trump said that under the same circumstances he would have done the same. According to Axios, the White House now has three main options: resuming large-scale attacks on Iran, concluding an agreement with Tehran or maintaining the pressure of the naval blockade and sanctions. The first option threatens a new increase in fuel prices and the continuation of an unpopular war. The second demands concessions from Tehran. The third may take months. After the election, the foreign policy space of the White House became narrower. As of January, Democrats will control both houses of Congress. Reuters writes that they may try to limit the continuation of the war with Iran through military spending and personnel appointments, renew the large aid to Ukraine, reconsider aid to Israel and neutralize the increase in the military budget.
