‘Seismic shift’: World reacts to US midterm election results

Democrats won a major victory in the US midterm elections, taking control of both chambers of Congress in a rebuke to President Donald Trump and Republicans. Foreign leaders are watching the results for possible effects on US policy toward the conflict with Iran, the Russia-Ukraine war and trade. Trump acknowledged that the US-Israel war on Iran and gasoline prices may have hurt his party. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said voters had rejected war, while Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said shifts between parties would not change US hostility toward Tehran.
