Four tankers destroyed by naval mines in Strait of Hormuz, Iran's IRGC says

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday acknowledged the poor results for Republican congress members was partly due to the war on Iran and the consequent increased gas prices, but that he didn't regret launching it. He told the BBC's partner CBS News that the conflict would end "when I say it ends".

In an interview with the Financial Times ahead of the midterm elections on Tuesday, Trump suggested he was happy with the state of the conflict, and that he didn't consider them to be "really in a war".

Asked about comments by Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu that there would be another attack on Iran this week, Trump said they were "locked and loaded if we need to go, but there may be no need for it".
