❗️Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei dismisses US midterm shifts, warns US hostility remains unchanged Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei stated that the outcome of the US midterm elections will not fundamentally alter Washington's hostile policy posture toward Tehran, dismissing expectations of a major diplomatic pivot following the Democratic victory in Congress. In remarks carried by IRNA, Khamenei warned against misjudging political changes in Washington, stressing that basic imperial policy goals remain consistent across partisan lines. He noted that internal "factional shifts" within US politics will not "dissuade it from its hostility towards the Iranian nation," asserting that the primary objective of American leadership remains the "unconditional surrender of the Iranian nation." At the same time, the Iranian leader highlighted that Washington's participation in the US-Israeli war on Iran has produced a "self-made scandal" that severely weakened its international standing. Khamenei declared that the US has "suffered an irreversible decline" as a direct result of its regional military entanglements, adding that "the process of its collapse has accelerated" despite ongoing attempts by both political parties to project imperial strength across the region.
