Why this matters

The November midterms will determine congressional control, directly shaping legislative priorities and oversight of foreign policy. An active conflict with Iran risks dragging the US into prolonged warfare, which historically shifts voter sentiment and impacts electoral outcomes. Understanding the administration's calculus reveals how domestic political survival drives crisis management and potential post-election military strategies.
