## Resource

Trump’s surprise military strikes on Iran just days after a ceasefire deal are sparking alarm — analysts warn this could drag out the war, hurt Republicans ahead of midterms, and alienate voters already reeling from inflation and gas prices. The move, fueled by GOP critics who see the original agreement as a surrender, risks triggering a full-scale invasion and deepens concerns over the administration’s lack of Iran expertise. With the Strait of Hormuz at stake and no clear exit strategy, this gamble could backfire badly — and cost the GOP dearly at the ballot box.
