Trump restarts the attack on Iran, the Republican Party is worried it will drag down the midterm elections.

Trump said that the ceasefire has ended due to Iran's continued attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Subsequently, the US military struck at least 170 military targets in Iran within 48 hours, and Iran retaliated against a US military base. Some Republican lawmakers are concerned that the escalation of conflict will push up oil prices, worsen economic pressure, and affect the midterm elections this year. A Republican congressman bluntly said, "He is leading us towards political destruction." The lawmaker believes that Trump is more concerned about the Iran issue than the election situation of the Republican Party. Republican hawks support continuing military action. Congressman Tom Bacon said that the US should continue to respond firmly to Iran until it seeks peace. However, some Republicans warn that rising oil prices could weaken voter support and make it difficult for the Republican Party to address the most concerning issue for the public, which is the cost of living. Meanwhile, Congress is also demanding the government to explain the plan for using the additional $670 billion in war funding.
