Former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called for a diplomatic solution to the ongoing war between the United States and Iran, following the Republican Party’s losses in the US midterm elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement on Wednesday, 4 November, Blinken said the election results reflected public dissatisfaction with the US administration’s performance and urged Washington to heed the message from American voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the policies pursued by President Donald Trump’s administration over the past two years had negatively affected the country’s security and economy, adding that American families were paying the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blinken described reaching a diplomatic agreement to end the war with Iran as an appropriate step towards changing the Trump administration’s policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His remarks come amid continued tensions between Washington and Tehran and growing discussions about a diplomatic settlement to the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diplomatic contacts between the two countries have continued through regional mediators, although major differences remain over the conditions for ending the war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
