As the results of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections emerge, the Republican Party has lost key states, and it is almost certain that the Democrats will control both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the United States.
Regarding this, Iran's Islamic Council chairman Kallibaf stated on November 4 that the American people have said 'no' to war.
Kaliabov posted on social media platform X that day: "Whether out of conscience or due to the pressure of living costs, the American people have said 'no' to war. We support this stance."
Khalibaf further warned that if the U.S. government betrays the will of its own people in order to serve 'international financiers and extortionists', then the U.S. will find that Iran's 'noes' will become their 'nightmare'.
In February of this year, the United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran. The months-long conflict and the resulting increase in energy prices have become one of the important topics in the U.S. midterm elections.
Regarding the results of the midterm elections, U.S. President Donald Trump admitted in an interview with Fox News that the U.S. military strikes against Iran was one of the reasons for the defeat of the Republican Party. The escalation of the situation in the Middle East led to a global oil price surge that exceeded what the American public could tolerate.
But Trump insisted that Americans support his actions regarding Iran, and that the United States “must take significant steps against Iran.” “They may be unwilling to bear the consequences of higher gasoline prices in the short term, and I understand that, but I do not agree with that stance.”
