Iranian lawmaker warns time favors Iran in US conflict amid midterm elections
Summary
An Iranian lawmaker, Ali Khezrian, expressed concern on Saturday that time is working against the United States in a war of attrition, emphasizing that a defeat for President Donald Trump in the upcoming midterm elections could significantly limit his ability to continue military actions. Khezrian noted that if Trump loses, he would face serious constraints on his foreign policy during the last two years of his presidency, further suggesting that the rising oil and energy prices might contribute to such an electoral defeat. Additionally, he pointed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent consultations with Arab countries, which he believes could pave the way for a short, limited military operation against Iran aimed at securing quick successes.
