Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has sent a 26-page letter to American voters calling for the removal of Trump's allies from office, marking an unprecedented act of foreign interference in the midterm elections. This brazen intervention comes as negotiations over an eight-month conflict between the US and Iran have collapsed, with Trump rejecting Tehran's latest ceasefire proposal, and as the economic consequences of the war continue to weigh heavily on American households through soaring fuel prices.

The letter, sent just five weeks before the midterms, brands Trump's allies as "evil, deceitful, and violent." Petrol prices have surged dramatically, rising from $3.15 to $4.43 per gallon over the past year, significantly affecting American consumers. Peace negotiations remain stalled, with the US demanding Iran surrender its enriched uranium stockpile and suspend nuclear activities, whilst Iran seeks control of the Strait of Hormuz as war reparations. The conflict has claimed 18 American service members' lives since February and is deeply unpopular amongst voters, contributing to Trump's approval ratings reaching their lowest point.
