According to Channel 14 Israel, the Supreme Leader of Iran stated in a written declaration regarding the US midterm election results that any hope for a change in US behavior is a grave mistake. Claiming that US global power is in a state of irreversible collapse, he threatened that if Washington resumes aggressive actions, the scope of Iran's operations will be much broader. The report notes that US President Donald Trump admitted that the confrontation with Iran and its economic costs contributed to the Republican defeat, though he continues to defend his decisions. It is also mentioned that with the Democrats taking control of Congress, there are concerns in Israel regarding potential restrictions on operational freedom against Iran and reduced security assistance, although the Democrats lack a sufficient majority to override a presidential veto.
