Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, released a written statement Wednesday in which he addressed the results of the US midterm elections for the first time, following the Republican defeat that cost the party its majority in both houses of Congress.
"If anyone is pinning hopes on a change in American behavior following the elections, they are making a grave mistake," Khamenei wrote. "The situation in the Persian Gulf and Hormuz has exposed the lie of 'invincible' America. It has revealed the weakness and humiliation of those governments that lean on foreign powers instead of on their own people."
