  3. Iran: The Latest Podcast
  4. US fears Iran war could drag into 2029. Trump insists it’s ‘worth it’
Donald Trump has admitted the US-Iran war will last beyond the
November midterm elections - some think it will last well into
2029 - with Republicans now facing the possibility of losing the
House and the Senate as oil prices surge towards $110/barrel.

On today’s bonus episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey
chats to Washington correspondents Connor Stringer and Benedict
Smith about Trump’s spectacular gamble to convince Republicans
the Iran war is not a big deal at the Republican Midterms
Convention.

From threatening strikes on Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site
to offering voters an unprecedented $5,000 cash dividend if they
vote Republican, his speech was “vintage Trump”. 

Plus, is Iran interfering in the US midterms to boost the
Democrats?
