More context
Iranian officials said U.S. midterm results showed voters had rejected Donald Trump’s war, celebrating a major setback for his party. Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in Tuesday’s vote, with concerns about the war and rising prices for fuel and other goods helping them, according to the Associated Press. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Iran’s chief negotiator, wrote on X that Americans had “said NO TO WAR” and that Washington should not ignore public opinion by attacking Iran again. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson warned that if the U.S. continued to ignore reality, the consequences would extend beyond what people had already witnessed. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said in a letter shared on social media that anyone expecting a change in U.S. behavior was “gravely mistaken.”
