## Key points

- Trump accepts that the Iran war contributed to Republican losses.
- He says preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon justified the decision.
- Democrats flipped at least seven Senate seats and more than two dozen House districts.

## Summary

Donald Trump said he did not disagree with Vice President JD Vance’s view that the Iran war, rising costs and US relations with Israel contributed to Republican losses in the midterm elections. Trump argued that preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon mattered more than the political cost, and said he would support striking Iran again.

Vance had publicly called the war the real reason Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress, saying the price was worthwhile. Democrats flipped at least seven Senate seats and more than two dozen House districts. Trump said Vance had discussed his post with him beforehand, but wished he had also said whether he would have backed another strike.
