United States President Donald Trump has acknowledged that the recent attack on Iran significantly contributed to the Republican Party's losses in the US midterm elections. Despite the electoral setback, Trump maintained that the action was necessary to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.
Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has downplayed the impact of the US midterm election results, stating that American hostility towards Iran will continue regardless of the political outcomes.
The context for these statements comes as people attended the 47th anniversary of the United States' expulsion from Iran, in Tehran, on November 4, 2026, an event documented by Majid Asgaripour/Wana via Reuters.
