Yes. In a September 10, 2026 Fox News interview with Laura Ingraham, President Donald Trump said he has no regrets about starting the Iran war and that “If I had it to do again, I would do exactly what I did.”
Asked whether skipping the war would have left Republicans better positioned for the midterms, Trump argued that leaving Iran unchecked risked a nuclear weapon that could be used against Israel, the Middle East, and U.S. cities. The same day’s coverage also noted he again said the conflict would be settled after the November elections.
