As the Strait of Hormuz closure pushes US petrol prices past $4 a
gallon and Donald Trump’s approval ratings hit rock bottom, the
Republicans are increasingly worried the Iran war could create a
“bloodbath” in the midterms.

In this bonus episode of Iran: The Latest, Venetia Rainey is
joined by chief Washington correspondent Connor Stringer to look
at five ways the Middle East conflict is actively reshaping
domestic US politics, from the economy to splits in the Democrats
and Republicans to record spending pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC.
Could Trump lose the House of Representatives because of the war?

Plus, how the November US midterm elections work, what’s a Super
PAC, and the key primary races you need to know about.
