President Donald Trump faces dwindling prospects for ending the war with Iran quickly following historic Republican losses in the midterm elections. Experts suggest that U.S. airstrikes are unlikely to make Iran capitulate, and the country's leaders are unlikely to accept Trump's demands. With Democrats gaining more seats in Congress and Republicans showing increasing skepticism, lawmakers may insist on a war powers resolution or cut funding. Iran has shown it can intermittently shut down the Strait of Hormuz and drive up global energy prices, while also absorbing U.S. airstrikes without changing its stance. Trump's options now include airstrikes, reducing U.S. forces, declaring victory, or engaging in talks, but none will alter Iran's strategic position.
