Iran’s chief negotiator says Americans have voted against war
TEHRAN: Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei said on Wednesday that anyone expecting a shift in US policy was “seriously mistaken”, hours after US midterm elections dealt a serious blow to US President Donald Trump.
“Those who still harbour even the slightest hope that the behaviour of the hegemonic system might change through partisan or factional shifts, or who imagine that making concessions to the United States can dissuade it from hostility towards the Iranian nation, are seriously mistaken,” Ayatollah Khamenei said in a written statement published on his website.
Democrats seized control of the US Congress in Tuesday’s midterms, reflecting anger over living costs, tariffs and the US war against Iran, which has sent fuel prices soaring.
