Poll Shows Majority Oppose Iran War as Democrats Gain Control in 2026 US Midterms

President Trump acknowledged the conflict's impact but defended his actions. Iranian officials interpreted the election results as a rejection of war, warning against renewed US aggression and signaling ongoing regional tensions.
