“Midterm elections are being held in the US today. Republicans are expected with high probability to lose the majority they hold in the House of Representatives.”
Globalinfo.az reports that this was said by Armenian international affairs expert Suren Sarkisyan.
He noted that the situation in the Senate is very complex:
“The difference between the votes here could be just 1-2 votes. For example, in the state of Iowa support for both candidates stands at 47 percent. Almost the same picture is observed in the state of Alaska and in a number of other states where the race is tight. The Senate and the House of Representatives, controlled by the Democrats, will in fact considerably complicate the work of President Donald Trump.
But will the election results affect the decision to strike Iran? I believe the decision has already been made and will not change depending on the election results. However, Qatar‘s diplomatic channel is still formally functioning, and that gives some hope.”
