He would do it all again

Trump told Fox News he has no regrets about starting the Iran war, saying he would make the same call today.

“If I had it to do again, I would do exactly what I did.”

Worth losing the midterms

Laura Ingraham put it to him that without Iran he would be cruising to a midterm win. Trump said a nuclear Iran would have used the weapon.

“Supposing we were cruising, and all of a sudden Iran has a nuclear weapon. They would use it.”

The threat he describes

Trump said a nuclear-armed Iran would wipe out Israel and the wider Middle East, then start hitting American cities.

Markets brace for longer

A Wall Street Journal report said White House advisors have discussed with Trump that the war could run past his current term. He insists it ends right after the midterms, with oil and gas prices falling.

No damage, he says

Iran claimed it hit multiple U.S. fighter aircraft at a base in Jordan. Asked about it on NewsNation, Trump denied any losses.

“No damage. No nothing.”

A big bank on Monday

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent teased sanctions against a large bank, delayed past 9/11. He says Dubai branches of Egypt's second largest bank, accused of sending Iran $1.8 billion, are already closed, along with a large Turkish lender.

“We're going to do it on Monday because we want to honor the memory of our fallen citizens on 9/11.”
