Trump's recommence of his concern over Iran's anti-RDR stalling mid-term elections

On 10 July, according to Politico, the ceasefire was terminated because Iran continued to attack vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Subsequently, United States forces attacked at least 170 Iranian military targets within 48 hours, while Iran responded to United States military bases. Some Republican parliamentarians feared that the escalation of the conflict would push up oil prices, increase economic pressure and affect the mid-year elections this year. A Republican member of the House of Representatives put it bluntly: “He is pushing us towards political destruction”. According to the parliamentarian, Trump was more concerned about Iran than about the Republican electoral situation. Republican Eagles supported the continuation of military operations. Congressman Don Bacon stated that the United States should continue to respond strongly to Iran until it sought peace. Some Republicans, however, warned that rising oil prices could weaken voter support and make it difficult for Republicans to respond to the most important price concerns of the population. At the same time, Congress has asked the Government to indicate plans for the use of $67 billion in additional war funds。
