Iranian Minister Uses Trump's Midterm Remarks to Criticize US Support for Israel

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded to Donald Trump's claim that American "dislike" of Israel contributed to Republican midterm losses, saying Washington should understand the sentiment. Araghchi posted on X that Americans are "sick and tired of Israel bamboozling US administrations into Forever Wars," adding "They had enough. So has our region." Trump made the remarks in a post-election interview, citing the Iran war and higher gasoline prices alongside Israel-related sentiment as reasons for Republican losses. He continues to defend US military intervention against Iran, arguing it was essential for Israel's survival. Araghchi is using Trump's own assessment to advance Tehran's argument that prolonged US involvement in regional conflicts has created political backlash within America.
