Trump aides, fearing a midterm rout, push to keep Iran war 'quiet'

Top aides to Trump are actively pushing to ensure the Iran war does not escalate before the midterm elections in November. According to four people familiar with these internal discussions, this strategy is intended to prevent potential electoral losses for the Republican party. The advisors are seeking to keep the conflict quiet to avoid political instability and negative voter reactions that could lead to a rout during the upcoming election cycle in the United States.
