Iran Celebrates Trump's Midterm Defeat as a 'No to War'

listindiario.com (Spanish) —

Iran celebrated the defeat of Republicans and Donald Trump in the U.S. midterm elections on Wednesday, calling the result a "no to war" amid fears of renewed military confrontation. Parliament speaker and chief negotiator Mohamad Baqer Qalibaf said Americans rejected war, while foreign ministry spokesman Ismail Bagaei accused Trump of dragging the U.S. into conflict with Iran and costing Republicans the election. Democrats won control of both congressional chambers. The celebrations coincided with the anniversary of the 1979 U.S. embassy takeover, featuring anti-Trump banners. Supreme leader Mojtaba Jamenei warned against expecting U.S. policy changes, as indirect negotiations via Qatar continue following a limited U.S. strike on Iranian territory.
