 "Trump election result chance for US to 'review wrong approaches of past', says Iran")
Iran on Thursday said that the presidential election result in the US is a chance for a new administration to “review the wrong approaches of the past”.
“We had bitter experiences with various US governments’ past policies and approaches. Elections are an opportunity to review the wrong approaches of the past. What is important for Iran will be how we evaluate the actions of the US government,” Reuters quoted Esmaeil Baghaei as saying.
President-elect Donald Trump’s foreign policy messaging has been somewhat contradictory.
While he has pledged to end US involvement in “forever wars,” he has also suggested he would offer Israel stronger support than the Biden-Harris administration, particularly after the October 7 attacks.
During his first term, Trump withdrew the US from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which had resolved a decade-long impasse over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in September that Tehran is ready to end its nuclear standoff with the West, which accuses it of seeking capacity to develop nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes only.
Outgoing president Joe Biden attempted to revive the nuclear deal with Iran in negotiations but failed to reach a new agreement. Trump has not made clear whether he might reopen the issue.
