Assessment

model confidence: under Technical details
Read the full assessment

The US midterm elections are influencing perceptions of future US policy towards Iran and Israel. While some analysts suggest a fundamental shift in Iran policy is unlikely despite partisan rhetoric, others claim potential changes in congressional control could alter the pace of negotiations, military posture, or even lead to dramatic actions. The impact of last-minute foreign policy developments, such as unspecified Iranian strikes and Israeli aid cuts, on voter sentiment and congressional control remains uncertain.
