Trump: Iran War ‘Worth It’ Despite Midterm Rout

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said going to war with Iran was “worth it,” even as his party suffered heavy losses in the midterm elections. Trump made the remark in a live statement, defending the conflict despite the political fallout. He did not offer further details on his reasoning. The midterm results dealt a significant blow to Trump’s party, though he stopped short of acknowledging any link between the war and the election outcome. The statement is likely to intensify debate over the decision to go to war and its consequences at the ballot box.
