The Guardian's political and foreign affairs team fielded questions from readers on how the continuing war with Iran might affect the political standing of the Trump administration heading into the US midterm elections.
The questions covered a range of angles, from the war's potential economic fallout to broader speculation about the administration's prospects, with some readers raising concerns about the president's fitness for office.
Correspondents responded with their own assessments of the electoral landscape, noting that while Democrats appear to have some momentum heading into the midterms, predictions of an overwhelming Senate majority were seen as unlikely.
The session illustrated the range of views among both readers and political observers about how a foreign conflict might ripple into domestic political outcomes months before voters go to the polls.
The Guardian said it would continue tracking the midterm race through ongoing coverage and a dedicated newsletter.
