AIPolitical analyst and writer Saud Al-Rayes said the results of the US midterm elections have strengthened Tehran’s belief that the chances of reaching an agreement are diminishing, in a way that does not align with the conditions and demands set by Washington.
Speaking on the "Huna Al-Riyadh" program aired on Al Ekhbariya channel, Al-Rayes added that recent efforts, including Qatari mediation and earlier regional initiatives, aimed to prevent escalation.
He noted that Iran has maintained a rigid stance in its demands, and that the outcome of the US elections will hinder any efforts to contain the situation.
Al-Rayes continued that Iran is using diplomatic channels to present itself as peaceful and seeking solutions, while its military establishment promotes Iranian capabilities. He pointed out that the visit by representatives of the "Mecca Alliance" to Tehran was intended to bridge differences and de-escalate tensions in pursuit of peace, but Iran’s position remains confrontational, further emboldened by the US election results.
