The reason for the defeat was the 'Iran war'

US President Donald Trump made striking statements while evaluating the results of the midterm elections held on November 3. Speaking to CBS, Trump reiterated that the biggest reason for the Republican Party's loss of votes was that he was not on the ballot, but also acknowledged the role of the war against Iran and the reaction against Israel.

rising prices

Stating that the people do not like the attacks on Iran and the increase in gasoline prices, Trump said, "They blame the war (for the increasing oil prices). I think they did not like the war largely for this reason, because everyone agrees that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons." Trump said, "There is great discontent against Israel. On the one hand, there is the war itself and on the other hand, there are gas prices. I think these are the main reasons." Asked about his views on the phrase "The reason we lost is the war", which Vice President JD Vance used in his post after the elections, Trump said that he had no objection to it. "He was right except for one thing. I think he should have said something else that is very important. If you had the chance (to attack Iran) again, would you do the same thing? The answer is yes," Trump said.

behind the decision

Trump defended his decisions regarding Iran and said that the decisions he made would be very good from a historical perspective. "Is it a good decision for today and tomorrow? Maybe not. But I have to do what's right for our country," Trump said. "I can tell you, this will go down in history as one of the best things we ever did. Because if they had a nuclear weapon, they would blow up the world. Why? Because they're crazy," Trump said.

On the other hand, Trump said that the measures taken in immigration policy were "too harsh" and played a role in the defeat in the midterm elections. The US President acknowledged that his administration may have been too harsh on some immigrants.

2 detained near the White House

There were lively moments around the White House in Washington DC, the capital of the USA. The US Secret Service detained 2 people near Lafayette Park, located right next to the White House. It was reported that one of the suspects went onto the pavement with his vehicle, while the other tried to overcome the security barricade in the park. While it was stated that US President Trump was in the White House when the events occurred, entry and exit to the White House was closed for a short time following the violations.
