**President Trump acknowledges that the conflict with Iran and rising fuel prices contributed to the midterm election loss, but he does not regret his decisions.**

"I am absolutely convinced that the decision I made regarding Iran was the right decision, for the good of our country in the long run.

People agree with what I am doing in Iran, but they probably weren't prepared to deal with the immediate consequences, such as higher fuel prices.

I understand that, but I don't agree with that approach. It's very unfortunate."
