A group of Iranians set fire to a large banner in Tehran featuring images of former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following Trump's defeat in the midterm elections. Photos circulated showing the burning banner, which also included images of U.S. Vice President JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff. Citizens documented the event with their phones and took pictures in front of the flames. Official Iranian television aired videos showing the banner engulfed in flames amid crowds waving flags. Meanwhile, thousands of Iranians gathered on Wednesday near the former U.S. embassy in Tehran, burning American and Israeli flags and chanting slogans against the United States and Israel. Trump acknowledged on Wednesday that the war his country is involved in alongside Israel against Iran significantly contributed to his electoral defeat, highlighting its repercussions, especially on oil prices.
