Iran weighs in on new US foreign policy post election
Iranian politicians’ reaction to Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential elections has chiefly focused on the potential impact of new US policies on the nuclear deal.
In reaction to the result of the US presidential election, President Hassan Rouhani said Nov. 9 that Iran’s policies do not change because of changes taking place in the leadership of other countries.
“Our foreign policy is based on constructive interaction with the world and lifting the international sanctions on Iran. This is an irreversible path, and [due to that] our economic relations with other countries have expanded,” Rouhani said.
Regarding Iran's nuclear deal with the world powers, Rouhani asserted that the agreement has been reflected in a UN Security Council Resolution and therefore is not a deal with a single country.
He also noted that Washington cannot continue spreading “Iranophobia” to win an international consensus against Iran.
