“Americans are evidently sick and tired of Israel bamboozling US administrations into Forever Wars,” the Iranian foreign minister wrote, adding that people across the West Asia region were equally exhausted by prolonged conflicts.
Araghchi’s remarks came in response to comments Trump made during an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes on Sunday. The US president attributed Republicans’ sweeping losses in last week’s midterm elections to several factors, including growing public opposition to Israel, resistance to the war against Iran, and rising gasoline prices.
Despite acknowledging the political consequences of the war, Trump defended his decision to attack Iran, saying he would make the same choice again. He also claimed that the United States had won the war and that Tehran was interested in reaching an agreement.
Democrats secured control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in Tuesday’s elections, dealing a major setback to the Trump administration.
The United States and the Israeli regime launched their first war of aggression against Iran in June 2025. The 12-day conflict was followed by a second aggression on February 28, 2026, which ended in early April after 40 days.
In both conflicts, Iran’s resistance and retaliatory operations led to ceasefires.
Iran has also maintained tight control over the Strait of Hormuz since the early days of the second war, amid what Tehran has described as provocative actions by Washington in the region.
