Nigel Farage has said he fears Donald Trump will "aggressively" continue his war with Iran after his "disaster" in the US midterm elections.

The Reform UK leader said the US president was still a friend, but accused him of having "broke a promise" to the American electorate by launching the war.

The war in Iran, which the US began in February 2026, weighed heavily in the midterm election results earlier this week in which the Democrats swept Trump's Republicans out of power in Congress.
