Both the Iranian leadership and Trump claim victory. Their claims could both be true, although they may not be. Trump says that Iran’s military forces have been decimated, and he presents that as a victory, although clearly not a complete one, since he is saying he will strike Iran after last week’s midterm elections. The Iranian Islamic regime, meanwhile, simply had to survive in order to count the conflict as a victory, and it has survived.
“Iranian official takes swipe at US after midterms, warns of ‘devastating response,'” Fox News, November 7, 2026:
Iranian Supreme National Security Council chief Mohsen Rezaei took an apparent swipe at the Trump administration on Saturday following this week’s midterm elections, writing on X, “You lost the war and the election.
“Vance has conceded, Rubio is heading for the exit, Hegseth is about to be fired, and the CENTCOM commander is now a podcaster!” he claimed.
“So٫ who exactly in Washington do we need to get this message across to? Start a war, and you’ll face a devastating response,” Rezaei also said.
Vance said in a post on X following the midterms that “the reason we lost is the war,” and, “the president himself said so last night.”
The two threats says
‘You lost the war and the election’
The Midterm elections may have been lost (whether fairly is debatable).
But the war is not over yet.
OLD GUY says
I love his make believe title “Supreme Leader”.
He just put a target on himself and may become the Supreme leader of 72 virgins.
Taffy says
Mohsen Rezae needs an Israeli missile through his window. The Israelis are very good at that type of thing.
Wellington says
I would prefer that missile up this guy’s ass.
mgoldberg says
Now Wellington, please…. let’s mind our language.
You should say ‘up his eternal orifice’
Bop says
Maybe you don’t do that every time. You don’t ever kill the idiot leader, only the smart ones.
Look at Hezbollah. They’re the terrorist in Lebanon. Israel kill their old leader. The new one? They’re letting him live. He’s probably a donkeys.

Iranian Supreme National Security Council chief taunts Trump: ‘You lost the war and the election’

What do the Mullahs know about elections?
Rob Porter says
Just more gross stupidity from these infantile and very stupid Iranian Muslims, but Trump deserves the mockery and scorn for not finishing war with devastation of Iran. He’ll deserve more scorn if he doesn’t fire J.D. Vance for his backstabbing and for talking nonsense.
