Israeli officials say Trump’s Iran move unpredictable as Republicans blame war for midterm loss
Israeli officials said President Donald Trump’s next move on Iran was unpredictable, and the Israeli Defense Forces prepared for a possible resumption of hostilities. Earlier, Vice President JD Vance told reporters that the war with Iran was the primary cause of the Republican loss in the recent midterm elections, a view shared by other GOP figures such as Senator Ted Cruz and Governor Ron DeSantis, who also linked the conflict and trade policies to the Democratic victories.
Democrats captured both chambers of Congress, and House Speaker Mike Johnson announced he would not seek the minority leader post. President Trump defended the operation despite the setbacks.
