The Hill, France 24 and CNBC report that Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said Americans had said “NO TO WAR” in the midterm elections, as projections showed Democrats winning control of the House and Senate. He posted on X that the public had rejected the war and that he endorsed that message. France 24 reports that he said the US government should not ignore public opinion by attacking Iran again. CNBC reports that the Iran war, which the US and Israel began with joint strikes in February, was a central issue for voters and has pushed up energy prices. France 24 says it is too early to say what the election’s impact on the conflict will be.
