On Monday, Iran’s foreign ministry said that we will focus on the actions of the new US administration rather than who wins the White House.
“Our position is clear: we do not look at (what happens) tomorrow, we will be watching the approach of the new US administration, whichever party it’s from,” ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh told reporters.
“More than the result of the election, we will pay attention to the actions” of whoever is president, he added.
Iranian officials have repeatedly said they favour no specific candidate in the race, while also calling for a return to the nuclear accord, the lifting of sanctions and compensation for damages caused.
Khatibzadeh said: “What is clear is that both parties have realized the extent of the failure of their policies regarding Iran, referring to the Republican and Democratic parties, and emphasizing that the framework for talks is the nuclear deal.
