Trump advisers urge restraint on Iran ahead of US midterm elections

As the US midterm elections approach, White House advisers are actively urging President Donald Trump to avoid escalating military tensions with Iran. With less than three months before voters head to the polls, top Republican strategists warn that entering a wider foreign conflict could undermine the party's slim majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

The political stakes extend beyond domestic governance, as the balance of power in Congress will directly impact future decisions regarding foreign policy and defense assistance to international allies, including Ukraine. Maintaining legislative control remains critical for the administration's broader agenda, leading key aides to push for diplomatic caution until after the upcoming November vote.
