Some administration officials are now urging Trump to launch new strikes against Iran and subsequently pursue peace, aiming to conclude any conflict before his term ends, the report said on Wednesday. Others argue that Trump should accept the losses and wind down the military operation, the report noted. According to preliminary results, the Republicans have lost control of both chambers of Congress. Trump himself publicly congratulated the Democrats on their victory, stating that the Republican Party could have achieved significantly better results had he been on the ballot.
