Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has inserted itself directly into America’s midterm elections—and one Republican congressman says Democrats’ reflexive hatred of President Donald Trump makes them useful to Tehran.
Rep. Randy Fine’s warning is blunt, but the underlying fact is no longer debatable: the IRGC published a lengthy appeal urging American voters to reject Trump and change the balance of power in Washington.
A regime military force designated by the United States as a foreign terrorist organization is telling Americans how to vote.
That should end the argument over whether this is ordinary foreign commentary. It is political interference in plain sight.
BOMBSHELL NEWS
Iran's IRGC has now publicly ENDORSED U.S. Democrats for the 2026 midterm elections as a way to 'punish' President Trump – tells voters that Trump concealed Iran's "peaceful nature" of their nuclear program.

In an interview with Fox News, Fine said Iran is betting that political division inside the United States can succeed where direct confrontation has failed.
His argument is that Tehran does not need Democrats to share the mullahs’ ideology. It only needs them to oppose Trump so completely that weakening his agenda becomes more important than recognizing who is trying to manipulate the election.
“The Democrats are on the side of Iran,” Fine said, arguing that their hostility toward the president has made resistance to his Iran policy an automatic partisan position.
Fine aimed his charge at Democratic leaders whose opposition to Trump has shaped their Iran policy. The IRGC’s election-timed appeal gives his warning real force.
The Associated Press reports that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard urged Americans to take to the streets and rally against Trump ahead of the November elections, while claiming that U.S. policy in the Middle East had failed.
IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi delivered the appeal at a news conference in Tehran, reading what he called a “letter to the American people.” He claimed the war could end only if Washington admitted defeat and withdrew from the region.
The timing was deliberate: the message arrived roughly five weeks before the November 3 vote that will determine control of the House and Senate. Mohebbi acknowledged that the letter was unlikely to change the Trump administration’s conduct before Election Day, but said American voters might hear it.
The message was not addressed to diplomats. It was aimed at American voters.
The Times of Israel describes the document as a 25-page open letter that called on Americans to oppose U.S. support for Israel and foreign military action, while presenting the Iranian regime as a potential partner for coexistence.
This is the same IRGC that Washington has designated as a foreign terrorist organization. It is now attempting a public-relations makeover for an American audience just weeks before voters decide control of Congress.
The quiet part out loud is that much of Trump’s pre- and post- midterm strategy against the Islamic Republic is likely to rest in the hands of Iranian officials in 3 institutions: the SLO, the SNSC, and the IRGC. More specifically, how these actors respond to the continuing… https://t.co/iSQT9bldLh

The letter’s most revealing feature may be its attempt to redefine the regime’s own slogan.
IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi argued that “Death to America” is directed at American policies and leaders rather than the American people. That rhetorical pivot is supposed to make an organization built around hostility to the United States sound like a misunderstood civic group.
Americans should recognize the maneuver for what it is: propaganda tailored to an election-year audience.
The regime is not offering neutral analysis. It has a concrete strategic interest in a Congress that can block Trump, restrain his administration and pressure Washington toward terms more favorable to Tehran.
Fine says that is exactly why the midterms matter.
He warned that Iran could try to wait out Republican control, betting that a Democratic Congress would obstruct the administration long enough for Tehran to rebuild leverage and continue pursuing nuclear capability.
Fine also drew an important America First distinction. He did not argue that changing Iran’s government should become Washington’s open-ended mission.
His position was narrower: the internal shape of Iran’s regime becomes America’s concern when that regime threatens the United States and its people.
What are your thoughts?
Fine’s position stops short of regime change or a permanent war. He wants America to deny a hostile regime the means to menace this country while refusing to let that regime dictate our elections.
US President Donald Trump said Friday that the war with Iran would end “very soon,” possibly shortly after the November midterm elections, and predicted oil prices would fall sharply once the conflict was over.
“That war is going to be over soon. One way or the other, one way or…

Trump’s own public timeline reinforces the political stakes: he says the conflict can end soon, while Tehran is openly trying to influence the Congress he may have to work with after November.
Democrats have every right to oppose the president. They also have a responsibility to say plainly that Tehran does not get a vote in the United States.
That condemnation should be easy, immediate and unanimous.
Instead, the political reflex in Washington is often to treat any foreign attack on Trump as useful ammunition first and hostile interference second.
Fine’s warning cuts through that habit.
You do not have to agree with every decision the president makes to recognize that the IRGC is not an ally, an election analyst or a moral authority. It is an adversarial power center trying to shape American behavior for Iran’s benefit.
The right response is not panic. It is clarity.
Iran can publish all the letters it wants. American voters should read them as evidence of Tehran’s priorities—and then make sure Tehran does not choose the people who govern the United States.
