US President Donald Trump has admitted that the Iran war contributed to Republican losses in the November 3 midterm elections. He said the conflict pushed up petrol prices and increased financial pressure on American families. However, Trump insisted he would launch the military campaign again to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Democrats won control of both the House and Senate. Vice-President JD Vance also blamed the war, rising living costs and US ties with Israel for the defeat. Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency said it could not verify the current status of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile.
