"A Defeated Trump Is More Frightening"... On High Alert Over Possible "Iran Airstrikes" Before January [U.S. Blue Tsunami]
Possible U.S. Attack on Iran Before Congress Is Reshaped
Global Right-Wing Forces of the "Blue Tide" Set to Weaken
The U.S. midterm elections ended in a sweeping victory for the Democratic Party, but tensions in the Middle East are rising instead. Concerns are growing that U.S. President Donald Trump could launch a military operation before Congress is reorganized next January. Some predict that the momentum of right-wing parties in power around the world that have received President Trump's political support will also wane. Once Congress is reorganized early next year to reflect the election results, the international landscape is expected to face another turning point.
On Nov. 4 (local time), Iran's new leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned in a written statement posted on his website: "Anyone who harbors even a glimmer of hope that partisan changes within the U.S. ruling system will alter its actions, or imagines that making concessions to the United States could soften its hostility toward Iran, is seriously mistaken."
Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group (ICG), a nonprofit international nongovernmental organization, also told CNN, "It is extremely dangerous that a president who lost an election may seek to restore his standing on the battlefield." He added, "President Trump could resume short-term military operations before Congress is reorganized according to the midterm election results next January." In response, President Trump said at a press conference at the White House, "If we have to go to war again, then we have to. In the long run, it's the only answer, and we can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon."
The influence of the so-called "Blue Tide," a conservative alliance in Latin America that grew with President Trump's political backing, is expected to weaken. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had President Trump's support in last month's general election, saw his political standing significantly weakened after the U.S. midterm elections. With control of the governing coalition shifting to the opposition, the risk of his ouster has grown. On this day, Ra'am, an Arab party in Israel, announced that it would recommend opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, head of the Yashar party, for prime minister. As a result, the Israeli opposition alliance, which is considered anti-Netanyahu, now holds 56 seats. If it gains five more seats to reach a majority of 61, it will be able to form a governing coalition.

A blow is also expected for Argentine President Javier Milei, who has openly touted his close ties with President Trump. Argentine newspaper La Nación noted, "President Trump's election defeat, after being President Milei's greatest ally, will affect Argentina's debt negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), U.S. financial support, and even the dynamics of next year's presidential election." Not only Argentina but also Peru, Colombia, Chile and Bolivia are watching closely for the possibility of reduced U.S. support.
