[00:00:35] The U.S. midterm elections are full of various rumors. The truth is here.
[00:00:39] Are these messages true or false? The U.S. president
[00:00:43] and vice president both admitted failure. The main reason is the war in Iran.
[00:00:47] The U.S. Secretary of Defense may be impeached by the House of Representatives next week. The current affairs
[00:00:51] Q&A discusses how the midterm election failure will change U.S. policy toward Iran.
[00:00:55] The Israeli president meets with representatives of the main factions.
[00:00:59] 。
[00:01:07] Reporter's observation: The right to form a cabinet is still uncertain. The frequent exchanges of fire between Russia and Ukraine in the Black Sea waters have attracted attention. What are the reasons behind this?
[00:01:10] 。
[00:01:27] from the U.S. midterm elections. According to some U.S. sources.
[00:01:46] Let's look at the House of Representatives. The Democratic Party also exceeded the 218 seats required for a majority,
[00:01:50] winning 245 seats, securing its majority status in the House of Representatives,
[00:01:54] while the Republican Party won 147 seats.
[00:01:58] U.S. public opinion generally believes that Trump,
[00:02:15] the mainstream election forecasts for this year's midterm elections underestimated the strength of the Democratic Party's southern faction. This gap is larger than the U.S. presidential elections in 2016 and 2024.
[00:02:19] And the mainstream forecasts in those two years
[00:02:22] underestimated the strength of the Republican Party. And a poll released by
[00:02:26] Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao on the 5th shows that as many as
[00:02:30] 72.1% of respondents are pessimistic about the U.S. political situation after the election,
[00:02:34] stating that partisan infighting will intensify and policies will become more
[00:02:37] unpredictable. Only 14.2% of respondents
[00:02:41] believe that the overall situation in the U.S. is stable, advocating that the two parties' core strengths are
[00:02:45] consistent, and major policies basically remain unchanged. During
[00:02:49] this round of U.S. midterm elections, the two parties fiercely debated and clashed,
[00:02:53] attacking and discrediting their opponents. A large amount of such content also appeared on
[00:02:56] social platforms. Among them, there were many rumors.
[00:04:35] The FBI tells me that information is false
[00:04:39] and no election related operation occurred and if you
[00:04:42] look closely you can easily see why it's a fake for
[00:04:45] starters the supposed FBI truck says FBI
[00:04:49] Atlanta on the side and then a photo of the purported
[00:04:52] ballots are not from Harris County but rather the Department
[00:04:56] of Elections in San Francisco.
[00:05:04] also showed that the main business category of the account that posted this explosive material was "comedy blogger," and the birthday registered on the account was April 1st, April Fool's Day. The
[00:05:08] account often posted satirical and spoof content.
[00:05:12] Texas sent election reminder text messages to a 16-year-old deceased person.
[00:05:16] A post published on the 4th stated that a whistleblower in Texas claimed
[00:05:20] that his grandfather, who had been dead for 16 years, still had a voter registration record in
[00:05:24] Hubbell City, Harris County, Texas. He stated that Hubbell City was
[00:05:28] a five-hour drive from where his grandfather lived,
[00:05:31] and his grandfather had never visited or lived in that city.
[00:05:35] The post also included two screenshots. One was a text message
[00:05:39] from a third-party voting reminder platform.
[00:06:21] How to end the Iran war is a difficult problem faced by the Trump administration
[00:06:25] after the midterm elections. On the 4th, U.S. Vice President
[00:06:29] Pence posted a long article on social media, directly stating that the fundamental reason for the Republican Party's
[00:06:32] failure was the Iran war.
[00:06:35] 。
[00:06:37] Pence said in the article that the Republican Party's voter turnout remained
[00:06:41] at a relatively high level, but many voters who supported the Republican Party
[00:06:45] in the 2024 presidential election were dissatisfied with the status quo.
[00:06:49] In the 2026 midterm elections, they turned to support the Democratic Party. He
[00:06:53] cited a poll conducted by a poll expert which stated that the main demands of voters who turned to support the Democratic Party
[00:06:56] were to end the war, address the cost of living and inflation problems,
[00:07:00] adhere to the America First policy, and adjust the relationship between the United States and Israel.
[00:07:04] Pence stated that the fundamental reason for the Republican Party's failure
[00:07:08] was the Iran war. This point is almost
[00:07:12] known to everyone. He said that this conflict
[00:07:15] cost the Republican Party. The Republican Party lost control of the Senate
[00:07:19] for the next six years. Any discussion about the future
[00:07:23] development of the Republican Party must start from this war.
[00:07:27] An article by CNN analyzed that Pence's post
[00:07:31] was unusual. He was actually distancing himself from Trump
[00:07:34] in order to seek the presidency in 2028. Fox News Channel
[00:07:38] quoted a U.S. government official as saying: The four tasks proposed by Pence
[00:07:42] are his rallying cry for a new American conservative movement. The demands of the new conservative movement
[00:07:46] are defined as not getting involved in overseas conflicts, making the United States
[00:07:50] an affordable place to live, and closing the border.
[00:07:54] On the 4th, U.S. President Trump admitted that the Iran war affected
[00:07:57] the Republican Party's performance in the U.S. midterm elections.
[00:08:01] However, he also stated that launching the Iran war was
[00:08:05] worthwhile.
[00:08:06] 。
[00:08:12] last night was the war in Iran, well I think it's largely true
[00:08:16] because it drove the gasoline up a little bit
[00:08:19] short-term and probably that's uh probably it's
[00:08:23] true, but at the same time I had it to do again, I'd have to do it again. U.S. media also commented that issues related to the war and the cost of living have become major factors influencing the votes of many American voters.
[00:08:36] obviously the decision to go to war was a big break
[00:08:40] from the president's promise. to voters
[00:08:43] when he sought office two years ago that he wouldn't
[00:08:47] engage the country in these foreign
[00:08:49] escursions. your your price of gasling has gone up
[00:08:53] because the president took us into uh this
[00:08:56] ill-advised war that he promised he wouldn't
[00:08:58] do.
[00:09:00] So, since the president and the war affected the election, the House members on the 4th are running for election.
[00:10:01] There was no warning about the chain reaction of the war on domestic politics and economy. They said that this conflict has now evolved into
[00:10:05] a quagmire, making the United States indefinitely mired in the Middle East quagmire,
[00:10:09] which has exacerbated the burden of people's lives. The report said:
[00:10:12] Although Republican strategists in the House and Senate privately admit that the problems faced by the Republican Party
[00:10:16] are far more than this war, it will take several years
[00:10:20] to turn the situation around, and this internal conflict is still ongoing.
[00:10:24] One.
[00:12:28] Other officials believe that military operations should be scaled back. CNN stated that the Republican Party's
[00:12:32] failure in the midterm elections does not mean that Iran can expect
[00:12:36] peace to come. The risk of escalation of every conflict
[00:12:40] still exists. The United States may launch a new round of attacks
[00:12:43] or restart negotiations to seek an agreement.
[00:12:47] So, how will the results of the U.S. midterm elections
[00:12:51] influence the U.S. government's policy toward Iran?
[00:12:55] Will there be personnel changes in key positions? What about the prospects for every peace talk?
[00:12:59] Let's look at today's current affairs Q&A.
[00:13:15] Question 1: Will U.S. Defense Secretary Hagel be impeached?
[00:13:19] This reflects the impact of the midterm elections on U.S. domestic
[00:13:23] politics.
[00:13:25] Now the Republican Party is eager to find a scapegoat, and it also involves
[00:13:29] the U.S. military action against Iran. The Secretary of Defense is responsible.
[00:13:32] Against this background, the issue of Hagel's future is a difficult problem
[00:13:36] for U.S. President Trump. Trump is now
[00:13:40] weighing the pros and cons. On the one hand, of course, he wants to shift the pressure, including the pressure
[00:13:44] and divisions within the Republican Party. But at the same time, he has to consider his own situation.
[00:13:48] If he agrees to impeach Hagel, then it is very likely that after the impeachment,
[00:13:52] the spearhead will point to the president himself.
[00:14:22] On the one hand, the United States saw that, especially before the midterm elections, the United States repeatedly threatened to restart strikes against Iran after the election.
[00:14:26] This was to force Iran to compromise in negotiations, but it did not achieve the expected results.
[00:14:30] Iran still adheres to its basic conditions. But if the United States
[00:14:34] restarts military action now, it also has concerns. And on the other hand, the United States is considering
[00:14:37] that if negotiations are difficult to advance, the war will still be
[00:14:41] in a stalemate. If restarting military action
[00:14:45] can find a new opportunity to withdraw, this is an option
[00:14:49] that the United States is currently considering. In repeated considerations, the United States will find that
[00:14:53] the room for maneuver in subsequent policies is extremely narrow, and after making a choice,
[00:14:57] it will inevitably bear risks and costs. Question 3: Will the conditions for
[00:15:01] U.S. negotiations change?
[00:15:04] The midterm elections are unlikely to become a watershed in U.S. policy toward Iran.
[00:15:08] The U.S. government is still highly concerned about the passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:15:12] It is difficult to admit, and in fact, it has not allowed Iran to strengthen control over the strait.
[00:15:16] On the nuclear issue, the United States still insists on basic conditions such as Iran surrendering its highly enriched uranium stockpile.
[00:15:20] On the one hand, it responds to domestic demands, emphasizing
[00:15:23] achieving security goals. At the same time, the United States is concerned that after this
[00:15:27] U.S.-Iran conflict, Iran's possession of hospitals will further increase. However,
[00:15:31] the current basic situation means that subsequent negotiations will be very difficult,
[00:15:35] which may be for the United States.
[00:16:07] of the Righteous Party representatives, as well as the Likud bloc representatives led by Prime Minister Netanyahu.
[00:16:11] Israeli media expects that in the next few days, Herzog will, based on the results of comprehensive consultations,
[00:16:15] select one of Esankot and Netanyahu to be authorized to form
[00:16:19] a new government. Currently, the process of forming a cabinet
[00:16:23] after the Israeli parliamentary election is in a critical stage
[00:16:26] of consultations between the president and various parties.
[00:16:30] So, looking at the recent meetings and statements of various parties,
[00:16:33] who can get the right to form a cabinet? What are the possibilities for forming a cabinet?
[00:16:37] How will the future situation develop? Let's look at the observation report
[00:16:41] from our correspondent Zhao Bing.
[00:16:44] 道
[00:16:47] On the 5th local time, the Israeli election is undergoing a relatively critical
[00:16:50] presidential consultation period. Opposition leader Esankot
[00:16:54] gained more support, but whether he can get
[00:16:58] the right to form a cabinet, whether he can successfully form a cabinet is still unknown.
[00:17:02] We can observe this power reorganization from four aspects. First,
[00:17:06] look at the timeline.
[00:18:07] The third is to look at the dilemma. For Esankot to successfully form a cabinet, he cannot do without the support of the Arab parliamentary party,
[00:18:11] but within the opposition camp, many leaders have clearly stated
[00:18:15] that they will never accept this. If
[00:18:19] Lapid does not support Netanyahu's religious parties, one is that
[00:18:22] the number of votes is still not enough, and the other is that the issue of ultra-Orthodox Jewish service
[00:18:26] has not yet reached a consensus. Under such contradictions, Esankot
[00:18:30] may form a minority government, which means that the Arab parliamentary party
[00:18:34] only provides support in parliament and does not take office in the government.
[00:18:38] Fourth, let's look at the variables. Faced with the forming coalition that poses a threat,
[00:18:41] Netanyahu delivered a televised speech on the evening of the 4th,
[00:18:45] characterizing the minority government as a threat to Israel's internal disintegration.
[00:18:49] He also accused foreign forces of interfering in the Israeli election and urged
[00:18:53] national security departments to conduct a strict investigation. Israeli media analyzed
[00:18:57] that the current cabinet formation process is like a complex arithmetic
[00:19:00] problem. With no side having an absolute winning chance,
[00:19:04] the struggle will continue intensely.
[00:20:19] The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the 5th that the Russian army struck a cargo ship carrying military supplies
[00:20:22] 52 kilometers southwest of Odessa in the Black Sea in the early morning of that day.
[00:20:26] CNN reported on the 3rd that in recent weeks, Russia has increased
[00:20:30] its attacks in the Black Sea waters,
[00:20:33] while Ukraine had previously continuously attacked ships entering and leaving
[00:20:51] is more than four times the number of attacks in the same period last year. The frequent mutual attacks between Russia and Ukraine
[00:20:55] have affected grain exports in the Black Sea and Azov Sea regions.
[00:20:59] Ukrainian President Zelensky stated on the 3rd at a joint press conference
[00:21:03] with German Chancellor Scholz in Berlin that among the priority topics
[00:21:06] proposed by Ukraine in the trilateral talks between Ukraine, the U.S. and Russia next week,
[00:21:10] was the lifting of the Black Sea blockade. The confrontation between Russia and Ukraine in the Black Sea region
[00:21:14] has gradually intensified from the previous ineffective
[00:21:18] blockade.
[00:21:50] At the same time, it has increased its offensive efforts,
[00:21:54] beginning to use cruise missiles and long-range suicide drones to target
[00:21:57] important Ukrainian ports along the Black Sea coast, especially Odessa,
[00:22:01] carrying out shelling to paralyze its ports
[00:22:05] and make it more difficult for Ukraine to export grain and other
[00:22:08] products through the Black Sea. Russia's move
[00:22:12] is to exert pressure in the Black Sea direction,
[00:22:16] and at the same time, to strike at Ukraine's economy, to force it.
[00:25:03] One of them, a flight from Dublin, Ireland, to
[00:25:07] Rome, Italy, was diverted to France. A flight from Helsinki, Finland, to
[00:25:11] Rome, Italy, has landed. In addition, three other flights
[00:25:15] landed in Bulgaria due to bomb threats.
[00:25:18] Czech police also stated that four flights to
[00:25:22] Prague, Czech Republic, received bomb threats. No explosives were found
[00:25:26] on these four aircraft.
[00:25:28] Spanish police said today that three flights at Madrid Airport
[00:25:32] were affected by false bomb threats this morning.
[00:25:36] Security forces have ruled out the risk. On the 3rd of this month,
[00:25:39] Poland, Spain, Bulgaria, and Italy successively reported bomb threats
[00:25:43] to passenger planes.

[00:30:31] U.S. midterm elections.
[00:30:41] Iranian high-level officials warn against abandoning illusions about the U.S. and strengthening preparations for war.
[00:30:45] Will the diplomatic window between the two sides narrow again? Israeli
[00:30:48] cabinet formation negotiations are turbulent. The opposition accuses Netanyahu's administration
[00:30:52] of harming U.S. relations. Netanyahu.
