US President Donald Trump said his decision to launch the war against Iran remains in the long-term interests of the United States and the world. He made the remarks despite rising fuel prices and Republican losses in Tuesday's midterm elections. Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said the American people rejected war in the midterms and that Iran endorses their message. He warned that if Washington betrays its people's will to serve foreign interests, it will face a nightmare. Iran International and IRNA carried the remarks, and no US official response was cited.
