Iranian officials and Middle East public opinion: The "new balance" in the U.S. political situation is good for Iran

China News Service, Beijing, November 4th Comprehensive news: Iranian officials stated on the 4th in response to the results of the US midterm elections that "the American people said 'no' to war" and "the world has heard the resounding message from the American people." Middle Eastern media commented that the U.S. political situation has formed a new balance after the mid-term elections, and the situation is favorable to Iran, but Iran is still "very cautious."

Qalibaf, Speaker of Iran's Islamic Parliament, posted on social media on the 4th, "Should we follow our conscience or bear the burden of life? The American people say 'no' to war, and we support this position."

Tabatabai, deputy director of the Iranian presidential palace for information and communications affairs, posted on social platforms that day, saying, "The world heard the resounding message from the American people in the election."

He said that crimes in the Gaza Strip, blind support for the interests of the Israeli regime, and the endless war with Iran have brought "the biggest defeat in the history of American elections" to the American Republican Party.

Iran's Tasnim News Agency commented on the 4th that launching war against Iran was the main factor in the failure of the US Republican Party in the mid-term elections. Longtime supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump are increasingly acknowledging that the U.S. war against Iran has pushed up energy prices and in turn increased financial pressure on American families, and that the conflict "has become a major political liability." Military aggression, soaring fuel prices and failed foreign policy ultimately led to the "electoral rout" of the US Republican Party.

Qatar's Al Jazeera commented on the 4th that the domestic politics of the United States have formed a new balance after the mid-term elections. The current situation is good for Iran, but Iran is still "very cautious."

Voting for the U.S. midterm elections ended in the early morning of the 4th Eastern Time. According to data from the website of the Decision Desk headquarters of the US election data analysis agency, the Democratic Party will win 52 of the 100 seats in the Senate. Trump congratulated the Democrats on their victory in a telephone interview with CBS.

Trump also admitted in a phone interview with US media that the war in Iran "had a certain impact" on the Republican Party's performance in the midterm elections, but he also said, "People also understand the importance of what I am doing with Iran."
