Trump: no regrets over the military operation against Iran
US President Donald Trump has stated that he has no regrets about the decision to launch the military operation against Iran, despite the possible negative impact on the Republicans’ prospects in the mid-term elections. “No, I don’t believe in the word ‘regret’. You can always question yourself a little,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News. “Some people have asked me that. If I had to do it again, I’d do exactly what I did,” the President added. Trump was responding to a question about whether the war against Iran might reduce the Republican Party’s chances of retaining control of Congress in the November elections.

This is reported by the New York Times, citing several sources, according to whom the information gathered by Vance raises doubts about the nature of the assessments the President receives.
