Trump on Iran war regrets: "You can always question yourself a little bit"

President Trump said in a new interview with "The Ingraham Angle" on Thursday that he would make the same decisions on the Iran war, despite acknowledging that he sometimes questions himself.

Why it matters: The Iran war is weighing on Trump and Republicans as they make their case to voters ahead of the midterms.

• Trump faces declining approval ratings as Republicans sour on the president, thanks to the war in Iran, high gas prices and inflation.

What he's saying: "I don't believe in the word regret," Trump told Fox News' Laura Ingraham when asked about concerns over the war heading into the midterms.

• "You can always question yourself a little bit. And a few people have asked me that. If I had it to do again, I'd do exactly as I did."

The big picture: Trump is making the Iran war part of his closing midterm argument rather than trying to move past it.

• Trump used the first night of the GOP midterm convention in Dallas to defend the Iran war and attack Democrats. He also suggested that the war would end after election day.
• "If we hand America's future to the radical-left Democrats, our nation will spend the next decade just getting back on its feet," Trump said. "Vote Republican and we will leave the world in our dust for generations to come."
