Iranian MP Boroujerdi says Republican defeat in US midterms will weaken Trump

Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of the Iranian Parliament, said in an interview with Mehr News Agency on Wednesday that the defeat of the Republican Party in the US midterm elections is an aftershock of the attack on Iran and will have further consequences. He emphasized that US President Donald Trump deserved this defeat.

Boroujerdi stated that a war was imposed against the Iranian nation and alleged that the United States and Israel jointly assassinated the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the innocent children of Minab Elementary School in Hormozgan province, and people in Larestan County. He said that the Iranian nation was truly rejoiced by the defeat sustained by the Republicans.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Boroujerdi pointed to the history of US crimes globally, stating that the United States is the only country to have used an atomic bomb, massacring hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He added that the US has also committed numerous crimes in various countries.

He said that Trump’s defeat in the US midterm elections is a matter for which the great nation of Iran should be congratulated, as he truly deserved such a defeat, and the people were pleased by this outcome. He added that in his view, there is no fundamental difference between the Republicans and the Democrats.

Pointing to the impact of the electoral defeat on Trump’s political standing within the United States, Boroujerdi stated that Trump has no choice but to shift course. There is simply no other path available to him. Naturally, the Democrats will also move to oppose Trump’s warmongering policies, creating challenges for him domestically. Following the election result which led to the defeat of the Republicans, Trump will certainly be weaker than before and will inevitably have to take a different path.

Emphasizing the reasonableness of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s demands, Boroujerdi stated that Iran's demands are entirely logical and do not fall outside the framework that Trump himself had previously accepted by signing the Islamabad Agreement.

According to Mehr News Agency, Boroujerdi made these remarks in an interview with the agency on Wednesday.
