Trump says he has no regrets about using force against Iraq. Iran says the election results will not change the hostility between the United States and the two sides. The differences between the two sides are still difficult to bridge.

Iran's Supreme Leader Mujtaba said that the results of the U.S. midterm elections will not change the U.S.'s hostility toward Iran. If the U.S. aggression repeats, Iran's response will be broader and the scale of the war will be larger. U.S. President Trump said that it is up to him to decide when the war in Iran will end, and that he does not regret starting the war in Iran and will decide whether to escalate actions based on the situation. Mediators such as Qatar and Egypt continue to mediate, but the two sides have obvious differences on key issues such as lifting oil sanctions, ending maritime blockades, and unfreezing funds. On the 4th local time, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have shot down a US military MQ-1 drone over Qeshm Island, while the United States claimed to have destroyed an Iranian surface-to-air missile launcher.
