Khamenei said that the US election results will not change Washington's Iran policy

Iranian leader Khamenei published a written statement on the occasion of the "National Day of Struggle Against Global Imperialism", which commemorates the anniversary of the raid on the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979.

Stating that the USA aims to "unconditionally surrender the Iranian nation", Khamenei argued that even the smallest concession to the enemy would negate the sacrifices of those who lost their lives in the war and the sacrifices of the people, and that this would encourage the other side to make new demands and launch attacks.

Pointing out the defeat of the Republican Party, to which US President Donald Trump belongs, in the midterm elections and noting that these results will not affect US policies against Iran, Khamenei said that those who expect a change in Washington's behavior are "deeply mistaken".

Khamenei, who claimed that Iran took control of the Strait of Hormuz and "destroyed" the American bases in the region as a result of the war launched by the USA and Israel against Iran on February 28, said, "If such attacks are repeated, (Iran's reaction) will reach much larger dimensions." he said.

Khamenei also praised the stance of the armed groups supported by Iran in the region, which he called the "resistance front".
