Trump's aides urge restraint on Iran ahead of US midterms

White House advisers are encouraging US President Donald Trump to avoid escalating military conflicts with Iran prior to the upcoming November midterm elections, according to media reports. Strategists fear that an expanded Middle Eastern conflict could alienate voters and threaten the Republican Party's narrow majorities in Congress. The outcome of the midterm elections remains critical for foreign policy, as shifts in legislative control could alter American financial and defense assistance to international allies, including Ukraine. With less than three months before voting begins, administration officials are reportedly balancing foreign policy choices with domestic political concerns to prevent potential electoral losses in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
