Iran's Revolutionary Guards urge Americans to vote out Trump 

Iran's Revolutionary Guards have urged Americans to vote out U.S. President Donald Trump's allies in Congress in a letter published on Tuesday 29 September.

Voters go to the polls on 3 November to elect the U.S. House of Representatives and some seats in the U.S. Senate. 

“Remove from power the evil, deceitful, and violent politicians who are responsible for America’s current state,” the letter said. “Make sure your politicians understand that the world has changed.”

Trump campaigned in 2024 pledging to avoid new wars, end existing conflicts and bring down inflation. The war with Iran, which Trump launched alongside Israel, has contributed to higher global fuel prices and spread in the Middle East.
