Iran war looms large over Trump administration ahead of vital midterm elections

Sky News contributor Kristin Tate argues the conflict with Iran is "casting a shadow" over the Trump administration ahead of the US midterms. “The war in Iran has really dominated discussions here on the ground in America, and particularly among Trump’s base, they want to see this wrapped up,” Ms Tate told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “People are kind of done with it, especially because Trump campaigned on not starting any new wars and focusing on domestic issues and strengthening the country from within. “If he wants to remain strong, especially going into the midterm elections this fall, which are very important for Republicans, this war in Iran needs to be wrapped up.”

CNN Humiliates Trump With Brutal Montage of Receipts

MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty ImagesA CNN host was left stunned as a montage of Donald Trump’s claims on Iran delivered an uncomfortable reality check for the president.On Thursday, the network stitched together a series of clips showing Trump insisting repeatedly that Iran was eager to strike a deal to end the war he started back in February—leaving anchor Kasie Hunt visibly taken aback as the footage clashed with both the president’s own shifting claims and the reality on the ground.CNN pulled together 14 clips of Trump declaring that Iran was desperate to “make a deal,” spanning from March 23 to Wednesday, with him variously claiming the war would end “very quickly,” that Tehran wanted an agreement “a lot more” than he did, and that Iran was “dying to make a deal.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
