Iran, currently at war with the United States, poured into the streets to celebrate the news of Trump's crushing defeat. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who failed to secure a majority in the recent general election, has also been driven into an even tighter corner by the defeat of his backer, Trump.
Here is reporter Kim Young-a with the details.

Tehran citizens poured into the site of the former U.S. Embassy.
[Death to America!]
Coincidentally, November 4, when Trump's crushing defeat was confirmed, marked the "National Day of Fight against Global Arrogance" designated by Iran following the 1979 U.S. Embassy hostage crisis, turning the event into a celebration of Trump's defeat.

Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned in a statement posted on his official website that if U.S. aggression is repeated, broader retaliation will be inflicted.
The downfall of his "backer" Trump has added insult to injury for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Netanyahu raised allegations that Arab voters engaged in fraudulent voting during last month's general election, where he failed to secure a majority, but the election commission, investigative authorities, and even the Israeli president dismissed the claims.

Furthermore, ultra-Orthodox parties belonging to the right-wing coalition decided not to endorse Netanyahu as the next prime minister, raising the likelihood of his ouster.
With pro-Palestinian candidates winning in large numbers in the U.S. midterm elections and even restrictions on arms exports to Israel being discussed, Netanyahu's standing has become even more precarious.
The two leaders of the United States and Israel, who initiated a war vowing to overthrow the Iranian regime, have instead been trapped in the snare of war and plunged into political crises.
