Iran's Revolutionary Guards urge US voters to oust Trump allies as troops exit Iraq
Iran's Revolutionary Guards published a 26-page letter on September 29 urging American voters to remove President Donald Trump's allies from office, as US forces prepared to withdraw from Iraq on Wednesday, a departure Tehran celebrated. The letter, unlikely to sway US voters, targets issues analysts say hurt Republicans ahead of November 3 congressional elections, where Democrats could retake legislative chambers. A Reuters/Ipsos poll found only 17 percent approved Trump's cost-of-living handling and 34 percent backed Iran strikes. The withdrawal, agreed by former President Joe Biden, comes 23 years after the US-led invasion. Qatar continues shuttle diplomacy to end the seven-month war, while Trump reiterated predictions of swift Iranian surrender, citing degraded forces and economic damage.
