↗ اشتراک‌گذاری

According to an Alhurra source report, the sweeping victory of Democrats in the US midterm elections and the defeat of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party have sparked wide international repercussions. US adversaries and Tehran viewed the defeat as a referendum on the war in Iran, with Trump and Vice President JD Vance acknowledging that the costly war and soaring fuel prices contributed to the defeat. Nonetheless, Trump retains executive powers for military escalation. In another development, Trump announced that the US will end annual military aid to Israel by the end of the year. Meanwhile, Iraq deployed four military brigades to Basra to prevent potential attacks against Kuwait by Iran-backed groups. The report also addresses debates over Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's rule in Egypt beyond 2030 and discussions surrounding regional leadership in the Gulf.
