Iranian Official Claims Strategic Political Defeat for Trump in US Elections

shorouknews.com (Arabic) —

Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei claimed Wednesday that the Iranian people inflicted a strategic political defeat on US President Donald Trump, citing losses in battle, the Strait of Hormuz, and Washington. Rezaei stated on X that Republicans lost their congressional majority in the midterm elections due to the war with Iran, adding that "anyone who confronts Iran will pay the price." Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei separately asserted that attacking Iran will not bring victory and that America cannot intimidate or subdue the country. Trump acknowledged Wednesday that the war on Iran was costly for his party, which lost control of both congressional chambers. Democrats secured 54 Senate seats and 231 House seats, compared to 44 and 139 for Republicans, respectively.
