Iran backs US anti-war voters, warns Washington against military action

Iran has welcomed anti-war sentiment among American voters during the US midterm elections, with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warning Washington against renewed military action. Ghalibaf said on X that the American people have rejected war and that Iran supports that message, adding that consequences would be severe if the US government acts against its people's wishes for foreign financial powers. The remarks come amid uncertainty over US-Iran relations, with Qatari mediators arriving in Iran Monday to discuss a draft agreement. Iran demands lifted oil and naval sanctions and released frozen funds, while President Donald Trump has not ruled out military options.
