Donald Trump says he does not regret the war against Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News journalist Laura Ingraham that he does not regret launching the war against Iran and that he would make the same decision if he found himself in the same situation again. Trump maintains that the military intervention’s primary objective was to neutralize Iran’s nuclear capabilities and prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

The American leader rejected the idea that the operation could affect the Republican Party’s electoral prospects in the midterm elections. He said hypothetical political scenarios cannot be verified and that national security must take precedence over electoral calculations.

During the interview, Trump was asked why the United States did not continue operations until the adversary was completely eliminated. His answers suggested that the proximity of elections influences the scale of foreign actions and the maintenance of an international balance.

The American president also cited the strategic and economic importance of the region’s oil resources and the stability of fuel flows in managing relations with the Middle East.
