In a post on his X account on Monday, Araghchi said US President Donald Trump clearly recognized that the vast majority of Americans were “disgusted with Israel,” but appeared confused about the reasons behind the sentiment.
“Americans are evidently sick and tired of Israel bamboozling US administrations into Forever Wars,” he wrote.
The region was equally exhausted by the prolonged conflicts, the top Iranian diplomat emphasized.
Araghchi’s post comes in response to earlier remarks by the US president, who said in an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes on Sunday that a “great dislike” for Israel, public opposition to the war against Iran, and rising gasoline prices were the main reasons Republicans suffered sweeping losses in last week’s midterm elections.
Despite acknowledging the political costs of the war, Trump defended his decision to attack Iran, saying he would make the same choice again.
He claimed the US had won the war and that Tehran was interested in reaching an agreement.
Democrats secured control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in Tuesday's elections, dealing a major setback to Trump's administration.
The United States and the Israeli regime waged their first illegal war against Iran, which lasted 12 days, in June 2025. Their second aggression began on February 28, 2026, and came to a halt in early April after 40 days.
In both wars, Iran’s resistance and decisive retaliatory operations forced the aggressors to accept a ceasefire.
Iran has also maintained a tight grip on the Strait of Hormuz since the early days of the second imposed war amid acts of mischief by Washington in the region.
