Election message from Iran to Trump: The American people said 'no to war'

Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said the U.S. midterm results—with Democrats reportedly securing a Senate majority—show American voters rejected war, framing the outcome as a choice between conscience and cost. He said Tehran supports that message, signaling Iran sees the vote as a shift away from military confrontation. The comments matter because they set expectations for U.S.-Iran tensions and potential nuclear diplomacy. Watch whether Washington’s post-election posture changes on sanctions and talks, and how Tehran responds.
