Iran sees US midterms as vote against war

di.se (Swedish) —

Iran's chief negotiator Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf claims the US midterm election results show Americans voted "no to war," citing either conscience or cost of living concerns. US exit polls indicated voters prioritized economic and democratic issues. President Donald Trump acknowledged the Iran war played a role, telling The New York Times voters were likely unhappy with oil prices rather than the war itself, and he does not regret starting it. A statement attributed to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, signals Iran expects no US policy shift regardless of the outcome and sees no reason for concessions.
