President Donald Trump has acknowledged that military action against Iran was a major factor in the Republican Party's poor midterm election results, describing the losses as a wipeout while insisting he 'had to do it'. He continues to defend the campaign as necessary, framing the Iran war as central to his presidency despite the political cost.
