Iran celebrates Trump's defeat in the midterms: "they said no to war"

Iran has welcomed the Republican defeat in the U.S. midterm elections, interpreting it as a rejection of war. Iranian officials, including Parliament Speaker Mohamad Baqer Qalibaf, emphasized that Americans have said no to conflict. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Jamenei warned that U.S. hostility will continue regardless of the administration. Trump acknowledged that the conflict with Iran affected his electoral performance, attributing rising gas prices to the war. Despite the electoral setback, Trump maintains a tough stance on Iran, confirming recent military actions against Iranian installations. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz remain high, with claims of attacks and military readiness from both sides. Diplomatic efforts continue, but progress is limited, with Iran demanding specific conditions for negotiations.
