PNN – Russia’s Permanent Representative in Vienna stated that the War against Iran had a serious impact on domestic developments in the United States and contributed to Trump’s defeat.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network citing the TASS news agency, Mikhail Ulyanov—Russia’s Permanent Representative to international organizations in Vienna—believes that the aggressive actions taken by the Donald Trump administration against the Islamic Republic of Iran had a significant impact on domestic political developments within the United States.
Following the announcement of the results of the U.S. congressional midterm elections, Ulyanov wrote in a post on the social media platform X: The U.S.’s unlawful aggression against Iran has had a serious and significant impact on the course of domestic political developments in the United States. This action was a free choice made by the current U.S. administration, and it must now deal with the consequences.
Donald Trump acknowledged yesterday that the conflict with Iran and rising fuel prices were among the reasons for the Republicans’ failure in the congressional midterm elections.
J.D. Vance also indicated that a war with Iran was the primary reason for the Republican Party’s defeat in the congressional elections. Vance cited rising inflation and U.S. relations with Israel as other factors that influenced the election results. According to him, some American citizens who had supported Trump in the 2024 presidential election voted for Democratic Party candidates this time.
