Iran has repeatedly said it does not support any specific candidate in the US presidential race (Representation)
Tehran:
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said on Monday it would focus on the “actions” of the new US administration rather than the White House winner a day before the Americans vote.
“Our position is clear: we are not looking (what is happening) tomorrow, we will be monitoring the approach of the new US administration, regardless of which party it is from,” ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said. to journalists.
“More than the outcome of the election, we will pay attention to the actions” of whoever is president, he added.
Since the unilateral withdrawal from a landmark nuclear deal with Tehran and world powers in 2018, President Donald Trump’s Republican administration has reimposed – and extended – crippling sanctions against Iran.
Trump’s Democratic challenger Joe Biden has said he wants to use the 2015 nuclear deal – a pact he made when he was Barack Obama’s vice president – as a “starting point for follow-up negotiations” with Tehran .
Iranian officials have repeatedly said not to favor any specific candidate in the race, while also calling for the return of the nuclear deal, the lifting of sanctions and compensation for the damage caused.
“What is clear is that both sides have realized the extent of the failure of their policy” on Iran, Khatibzadeh added, referring to the Republican and Democratic parties, and stressing that the “cadre of talks “is the nuclear deal.
U.S. intelligence services last month accused Iran and Russia of trying to interfere in the 2020 election, accusations Tehran strongly denied.
Tehran “has repeatedly stated that it has no interest in meddling in the US elections nor does it believe that the interference would be to anyone’s benefit,” Khatibzadeh said, qualifying the US allegations. of “unfounded”.
“The US election has become a spectacle, and like a spectacle, they are trying to create more attractions,” he added.
