US President Donald Trump said he has no immediate plans to launch an attack on Iran after the midterm elections. In the midterm elections, the Democratic Party overwhelmingly defeated the Republican Party and took control of Congress. In an interview about the progress of the war, Trump said, “We seem to be getting everything we want.” However, he added that the US is still ready to further escalate the conflict with Iran if necessary. “I'm ready, we're ready. If action is needed, we're ready to go, but it's probably not necessary at all.” Trump later said that the war in Iran was not the main reason for the Republican Party's fiasco, even though polls continued to show that Americans opposed the conflict and were dissatisfied with the sharp rise in gasoline prices caused by the war.
