Iranians on Wednesday struck a defiant tone, celebrating U.S. voters’ rebuke of President Donald Trump in the midterm elections while many in the Middle East waited to see how the results could affect the Iran war.
Concerns about the war, particularly frustration over rising prices for fuel and other goods in the U.S., helped Democrats win control of both chambers of Congress in Tuesday’s vote, a sharp setback for Trump and his Republican Party.
But Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, whose father and predecessor was killed in the opening strikes of the war in February, dismissed the prospect of any major change in the U.S. approach to the Islamic Republic.
“If there are still those who harbor even a slight hope for a change in behavior or partisan and factional shifts within the system of domination, or who imagine that by giving concessions to America they can dissuade it from hostility toward the Iranian nation, they are gravely mistaken,” he said on his social media account.
J.D. Vance is saying the same thing: https://x.com/JDVance/status/2118004988433641835
It’s obvious, even to Republicans.
He’s just saying that because he doesn’t want it to be about ICE, data centers, Epstein, Gaza, the economy and billionaires. It’s all those things and Iran.
Putting it all on the Iran war gives them an exit strategy because they can’t/won’t fix the other things.
He does say it is also about the economy and Israel - the other stuff, he does not mention. Trump has been polling quite well on immigration, so I don’t know that ICE has been such a big deal for most American voters, unfortunately :\
Shh. Let him think it’s all about the war…
Vance is a sociopathic piece of shit, positioned by a psychopathic megalomaniac billionaire implementing totalitarianism. He is only saving face and vying for the 2028 presidency. He has no honor or virtue. He’ll say whatever he thinks will benefit him. He’s a nazi traitor.
