The Republican wipeout in the elections last week was a direct result of the US failure to defeat Iran, says Sardar Shekarchi, spokesperson for Iran’s Armed Forces, Al Jazeera reports.
President Trump’s setback reflects more than a domestic political shift but “a greater reality: the failure of the US to break Iran’s will”, Iranian media quotes Shekarchi as saying.
The United States has fallen victim to “strategic attrition” and “defeats” on the battlefield that have shaken “the foundations of the White House’s power”.
“This strategic defeat proves that global power dynamics do not always favour hegemonic powers,” Shekarchi says.
