Center Owned by Eastern Media Ltd (Sambad Group)Trump blames Iran war for Republican losses in midterm polls
What's behind this
In an interview with Ross Douthat for CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” President Donald Trump said the war with Iran, higher petrol prices and unpopular candidates were responsible for Republican losses in midterm polls, while defending the military action and stating he was not looking to expand the conflict. He also said a resumption of war with Iran was highly unlikely. Iran continues to at least partly block traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which has dented oil supplies out of the Gulf.
