Commenting on the outcome of the US elections, Iran's government spokesperson, Fatemeh Mohajerani, remarked that Iran does not view a significant difference between former US President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden.
She noted that the outcome of the US election holds little relevance for Iran, "The election of the US president holds no particular significance for us; Our policies remain unchanged, and America’s broader policy also remains consistent."
In the same context, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized Monday that his country will not place any value on the US elections as it will have no impact on Tehran's policy.
Araghchi was commenting on whether the results of the US presidential election on Tuesday could affect Iran's positions, especially as talk of an imminent Iranian retaliation to "Israel's" attack on Iran last month is increasing.
"We will definitely respond to the Zionist entity in the appropriate way, but the nature and quality of this response depends on the decision of the Islamic Republic and according to the circumstances,” he said, explaining that "everyone knows well and has witnessed that the Islamic Republic does not make impulsive decisions based on emotions and feelings, and responds to every aggression with intelligence and wisdom."
"We tell Iran's enemies not to test our will and that they will see the result if they test it,” the Iranian foreign minister said, adding, “We will not compromise on the principles we hold and we will not negotiate on them."
