Iran, rather than the Democratic Party, is the real winner of the US midterm elections, according to Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.Parsi argued that Tehran's strategy of creating an energy crisis played a role in the Republican Party's defeat in the midterm elections.The Democrats did not win the midterm elections; Iran won, he said in an interview with Al Jazeera.According to Parsi, voters were driven more by frustration over the rising cost of living than by support for the Democrats' political agenda.He blamed the increase in living costs on US President Donald Trump's war with Iran, arguing that the economic consequences of the conflict had influenced voters' decisions.The strength of the Democrats' political ideas did not bring voters to the polling stations; rather, intense anger over the rising cost of living motivated them to vote, Parsi said.Source: Al Jazeera
