Iran’s foreign minister says Trump admits Americans are ‘disgusted with Israel’

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed Americans are "disgusted with Israel" after President Donald Trump linked Republican midterm losses to public dissatisfaction with Israel and the Iran war. Araghchi said voters are weary of US involvement in Middle East conflicts. Araghchi responded on X to Trump's CBS interview, saying the president recognizes American sentiment but is "confused about why that's the case." Trump cited the Iran war, higher gasoline prices, and "a great dislike, incredibly, for Israel" as factors in the Republican defeat. Trump defended his Iran military action as historically correct, saying he would make the same decision again. CBS exit polls showed 63% of voters disapproved of Trump's performance, with 44% citing opposition to him as a voting reason.
