[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=7) But we must not reduce this pro—process that took place and this punishment the American voter imposed through democratic means by ousting this— this, I mean, faction or this party, to Iran alone.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=21) The rising cost, the demands, his failure to keep his promises, and also the strong turnout in the election are what produced this result, not Iran alone.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=31) We should not portray it as an Iranian victory.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=33) Right, uh, Pew Research, uh, conducted a poll saying that 74% of Americans voted against the Repub— Republican Party because they, uh, because of the war on Iran and what happened— The vice president spoke— because of the results of the war, not because of the war,

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=51) Doctor, go back. Don't take a survey from just one outlet.

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=54) And this point—okay, but, s—sorry, I mean, even the vice president said this.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=58) Go ahead. We don't need much to prove that.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=61) The war on Iran, then, uh, Hormuz and its impact on energy around the world and in the United States affected the cost of living in the United States and led to what it led to.

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=72) And for months, we've been saying that this is an Iranian policy that Iran is pursuing.

[1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=77) The issue is not—but when, excuse me, when Araghchi says, “The voters have made their choice, and Trump has to make his choice,” should we understand from this that he's drawing strength from this choice, uh, on the part of the Americans?

[1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=90) That he's counting on, or betting on, uh, this new democratic force to curb any war?

[1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=96) Uh, he's building on the divisions within the United States.

[1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=100) He's telling Democrats and Republicans that these results and— those are the results of war. Put them side by side.

[1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=107) If you go to war, it will be very costly.

[1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=111) If you pursue peace and negotiations, and as I said, the initiative is still on the table.

[1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=116) The United States hasn't responded to him.

[1:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=118) Because, as Deputy Joey Hood says, they are demands, not news.

[2:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=122) When you put forward an initiative, you put it up for discussion.

[2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rg9n7RmTf6Bd/en/did-the-iran-war-and-cost-of-living-influence-us-elections?t=126) No discussion, no response. I want to hear something, just an addition.
