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.
yeah and I can say aipac funded shell pacs were pretty prominent in the primaries in my area and their canidates lost. really shady trump with naming the shell pacs with progressive in the names. pissed me off. not sure about other voters but I would see the commercial and the pac name and was like. how is this person progressive. of course I then looked up the particular pac and low and behold its funded by aipac… I did not even think much about aipac before the primaries other than it was mentioned a lot here but for me it was basically talk until they became active in this area.
