Iran top negotiator says Americans voted ‘no to war’
Democrats won full control of the US Congress in a sweeping landslide of upsets that delivered a crushing rebuke of president Donald Trump and his party.
Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf announced on Wednesday that Americans had rejected war during the recent midterm elections. The Democrats secured full control of the US Congress, marking a significant defeat for President Donald Trump and his party. The midterm elections were driven by widespread discontent with living costs, tariffs, and Trump's aggressive stance against Iran.
Ghalibaf conveyed this message on social media platform X, stating that if the US government fails to act in accordance with the will of its people, Iran will not hesitate to respond. The current conflict between Iran and the US, which began with US-Israeli strikes on Iranian soil in February, remains in a stalemate, with periodic skirmishes raising concerns of a wider escalation.
