Trump says Iran war played a role in Republicans' midterm losses as Democrats head toward flipping Congress
Summary
As Democrats looked poised to win the US midterm elections, President Donald Trump said the Iran war likely played a role in Republican seat losses, and NDTV reports he admitted the war may have played a part in the defeat. Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said the midterm results show that Americans have said no to war and that the US government should not ignore public opinion by attacking Iran again; France 24 spells his name Qalibaf. Africanews reports that Iranians celebrated voters' rebuke of Trump while many in the Middle East waited to see how the results could affect the Iran war. France 24's correspondent in Iran said it is too early to say what the election's impact will be, given how unpredictable the conflict has been.
