Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the election results show American voters reject war and rising living costs.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated on Wednesday that the US midterm election results reflect a public rejection of conflict. According to reports from Moneycontrol and Rediff, the Democratic Party is poised to take control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives following the November 3 elections.
Ghalibaf posted on X that the outcome demonstrates that Americans have said no to war, whether due to conscience or the cost of living. He warned that if the US government ignores public will to serve international interests, it will face a nightmare from Iran.
The election results represent a setback for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. The campaign was heavily influenced by economic concerns, tariffs, and the ongoing military engagement with Iran, which began in February after US-Israeli strikes on Iranian targets.
In a telephone interview, President Trump acknowledged that the conflict with Iran may have influenced the Republican Party's performance. He noted that while people understood his approach toward Tehran, the war was a factor in the election outcome.
Trump expressed a willingness to work with the Democrats for the country's benefit but indicated he would use his veto power against legislation. The new balance of power in Washington is expected to increase scrutiny of the administration's foreign policy and military decisions.
