US midterm elections
US legislative elections held midway through a president's term, renewing all House seats and a third of the Senate. They appear in reports as a possible timing factor for US decisions on Iran and the region.
The midterm elections are US congressional elections held every four years, midway through a president's term. All House seats and about a third of Senate seats are contested, along with several governorships. Results often shift the balance of power between the two parties and can affect foreign policy. In regional coverage, they are sometimes cited as a timing factor for US military or diplomatic decisions.
