US Strikes Iran as Scaramucci Predicts Trump Midterm Defeat

The United States launched defensive strikes on Qeshm Island in Iran overnight, contradicting previous assertions by President Donald Trump that American forces would not attack Iran before the midterm elections.

Amidst this military action, former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci predicted that President Trump will be "trounced" in the Tuesday midterm elections. Scaramucci cited the administration's failure to deliver on promises regarding affordability, transparency on the Epstein files, and the ending of "forever wars."

Scaramucci pointed to a CNBC survey showing that 65% of respondents disapprove of the president's economic handling, marking an all-time high. He suggested that a Democratic victory could trigger bicameral investigations into the administration and spark an intellectual civil war within the Republican Party over its future direction.
