Iran says war triggered US 'political earthquake', confirms nuclear inspection
Iran has claimed that the US-led war against Tehran triggered a political and social upheaval in the United States, following the Democrats' victory in both chambers of Congress.
Speaking on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said the election results reflected growing public dissatisfaction with Washington's military actions against Iran.
He argued that US leaders should recognise the message sent by American voters and reconsider their approach to the conflict.
Baqaei also confirmed that Iran's proposed two-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remained available, describing it as the most practical option for easing tensions.
His remarks come as Washington and Tehran continue indirect negotiations through regional mediators.

On nuclear cooperation, Baqaei revealed that inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had visited Iran's Bushehr nuclear facility in recent days. He added that Iranian officials continued regular professional communication with the UN nuclear watchdog.
The spokesperson also welcomed Sunday's visit by Chinese Special Envoy Zhai Jun, describing it as part of ongoing diplomatic consultations between Tehran and Beijing.
Baqaei said Iran and China shared similar positions on several international issues, particularly their support for multilateralism and opposition to unilateral actions.
