Iran's government spokesman says now is the time for Barack Obama to fulfill his promises with respect to changing the US' policy.
"We hope that Barack Obama would make fundamental changes in US foreign policy, rebuild the tarnished image of his country, and remove global growing distrust of America, as he promised in his campaigns," Gholam-Hussein Elham said on Wednesday.
Elham added the elections indicated that the Americans sought changes in their country since they were already irked by the Bush administration's wrong policies.
The Iranian official said the US President-elect has gained the confidence of Americans, and he should not betray this trust.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki also expressed hope that the newly-elected US president would "fulfill his commitments and bring change to Washington and its affairs."
He said on Wednesday that Obama's election indicated that the American people "wholeheartedly support fundamental changes in the bedrock of US policies."
Democrat Barack Obama defeated his Republican rival John McCain by a wide margin in the US presidential election on November 4, to become the first African-American to assume the Oval Office.
Many believe that the election of Barack Obama has raised prospects of 'change' in US policy. Obama, with 'Change We Need' being his campaign slogan, has promised to make a change for the better in the United States and the world.
