🔻Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, in his first reaction to the results of the U.S. election, said that, in his view, “the Iranian people confronted Trump with a strategic defeat both on the battlefield and in the Strait of Hormuz, and also imposed this political defeat on him in Washington. However, the American people are forced to pay the cost of his war.”

Statements by J.D. Vance about Iran’s central role in the defeat of the Republicans last night—which a short while later Donald Trump also emphasized—have been met with a wide range of reactions inside the United States, and it appears that officials in Iran have also welcomed the Democrats’ remarkable victory and the transfer of power in Congress to the opposing party.
