Rouhani: US Election Results Won’t Affect Iran Policies
Local Editor
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said the results of the United States presidential election will have no impact on the Islamic Republic's policies.
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump won more than 270 electoral votes in the 2016 presidential election on Wednesday, enough to make him the 45th president of the United States even as vote counting continued in a number of states.
"The position of the United States has been weakened within the international community and in the world's public opinion as a result of wrongful policies, and a wider gap with the global community and Europe will further harm that position," President Rouhani said on Wednesday, referring to the potential prospect of a Trump presidency distancing the US from the world.
The Iranian chief executive added that Washington cannot continue to spread Iranophobia as forcefully as before in order to win international consensus against the Islamic Republic.
"The Islamic Republic's policy of constructive interaction with the world and breaking up nuclear sanctions, has placed Iran's economic ties with all countries on an improving and irreversible course," he noted.
Rouhani further said a nuclear agreement negotiated with Iran under the outgoing US administration is not a deal with a single country or a single government.
The deal has been reflected in a UN Security Council Resolution, and therefore, cannot be overturned on the back of one government's decision, Rouhani added.
The agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA], was struck between Iran on the one side, and the US, France, China, Britain, Russia, and Germany on the other in June 2015.
