According to CoinMeta, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Khamenei condemned the military relations between the United States and Israel, describing them as a "parasitic relationship." He stated on social media that over the past three years, the U.S. has used $11 billion of taxpayer funds to provide missile defense for Israel, and the number of interceptors launched by Washington to protect Israel has even exceeded that of Israel itself. With less than two weeks left until U.S. voters elect members for the midterm congressional elections, polls show that the public is clearly dissatisfied with U.S. involvement in the Middle East conflicts.
