Speaking on Wednesday's episode of The Great Standoff: Iran and the World, Professor Mohammad Marandi described Trump's midterm defeat as a turning point in American politics, arguing that the results reflect a growing public rejection of his policies, including among Republican voters. Watch: Marandi warned against expecting big changes from the Democratic Party, accusing its leadership of complicity in the war in Gaza. He also warned that the possibility of renewed US strikes against Iran remains, and emphasized that any military escalation following the mid-term elections would result in greater political consequences for Trump and his allies.
