Iran urges US voters to reject Trump allies as troops exit Iraq

business-standard.com —

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps urged American voters to oust President Donald Trump's congressional allies, as US forces withdrew from Iraq on Wednesday, a departure Tehran celebrated. The 26-page letter, published Tuesday, also called for rejecting US support for Israel and military intervention abroad.

Qatar continues shuttle diplomacy to end the seven-month war, with US and Iranian officials speaking to mediators Monday. Trump predicted Iran's swift surrender, while Tehran floated a peace proposal rejected by Washington. The conflict has raised global energy prices via Strait of Hormuz restrictions.
