US President Donald Trump, following the Republicans' defeat in the congressional elections, rejected speculation about dismissing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. At the same time, he continues to defend the military approach toward Iran and admitted that the United States may take further steps. SITA ↗
Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in the elections. The result sparked a debate within the Republican Party about the causes of the defeat and Trump's role in it. Several assessments linked the Republicans' failure to the consequences of the war with Iran, high fuel prices, and expensive mortgages. dennikn.sk ↗
Trump stated that Hegseth is doing a good job, thereby rejecting speculation about his dismissal. The Defense Secretary is among the prominent advocates of a tough military approach toward Iran. However, criticism within the party is growing regarding the handling of the conflict and its impact on domestic politics. lidovky.cz ↗
Vice President J. D. Vance, in his assessment, distanced himself from the war with Iran and described it as one of the reasons for the election defeat. His stance met with disapproval from part of the Republican Party. Welt ↗
The Democrat-controlled Congress may attempt to limit the president's foreign policy actions, including Iran policy. However, Trump remains in office and holds veto power, meaning his administration can continue the current policy. The Guardian ↗
