Iran Gloats as DEMS Take House

Democrats seized control of Congress in the midterms, with gains even in traditional Republican strongholds, and Iran's leaders were quick to celebrate. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei posted that the results reflect American rejection of the war. Vice President JD Vance wrote on X, "The reason we lost is the war," according to Fox News. Trump acknowledged Iran partly played a role while defending his decision to go to war. He had predicted four to six weeks, and the conflict has now run past eight months. Hormuz disruptions and attacks on Gulf energy sites have pushed up prices that families feel at the pump. Our troops and their families have carried this burden, and they deserve a clear path to ending it, not a regime in Tehran cheering the outcome. Some key races are still in the balance.
