Iranian Speaker of Parliament Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf has mocked US Vice President JD Vance after the latter blamed the war in Iran for the Republican midterm losses. Ghalibaf criticized Vance for his "losing-gambler energy" and accused him of being unwilling to walk away from the table, stating that he is prepping the next war phase while America teeters on an Israel-First cliff.
