Vance repudiates Iran war after US electoral defeat
Context
By Phil Stewart, Erin Banco, Nandita Bose and Humeyra Pamuk WASHINGTON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - US Vice President JD Vance distanced himself from President Donald Trump's war on Iran on Wednesday, questioning whether it was worth the cost and blaming it for Republicans' election losses that handed Democrats control of both chambers of Congress. Vance's extraordinary remarks in a post on X could further complicate Trump's deliberations as he weighs whether to restart major combat operations against Iran, a step US officials have told Reuters is still under consideration.
