- Shekarchi says Washington has suffered a strategic defeat that has weakened the foundations of the White House's power.
Iran's Armed Forces spokesperson Sardar Shekarchi has described the United States as a victim of "strategic attrition," claiming that Washington's failure to defeat Iran contributed to the Republicans' losses in last week's midterm elections.
Iranian media quoted Shekarchi as saying that President Donald Trump's electoral setback reflected more than a domestic political shift, pointing instead to what he called "a greater reality: the failure of the US to break Iran's will."
Shekarchi said the United States had suffered "defeats" on the battlefield that had shaken "the foundations of the White House's power."
"This strategic defeat proves that global power dynamics do not always favour hegemonic powers," he said.
His remarks come as Tehran continues to portray its confrontation with Washington as a strategic failure for the United States.
