Iran said today that the US elections, which Donald Trump won, are an opportunity to "correct Washington's mistaken approaches and policies" towards Tehran.
"The US elections constitute an opportunity to reassess and correct Washington's wrong approaches and policies" toward Iran, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei said, according to state news agency IRNA .
The diplomat indicated that Tehran has had "deeply bitter experiences with the policies of various administrations of the United States", a country with which it has been at loggerheads since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Baghaei's statements were made one day after Donald Trump's victory in the American presidential elections, who in his first term (2017-2021) applied the so-called "maximum pressure" policy to Iran.
Trump unilaterally abandoned the 2015 nuclear deal, which limited Iran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions, and reimposed restrictive measures that sank the country's economy.
In the first official reaction on Wednesday, government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said: "The election of the US president has no clear relationship with us."
Despite this, the rial fell to an all-time low against the dollar.
Relations between Iran and the United States, very tense in recent decades, are going through their worst moment since the start of the war between Israel, which has Washington as its main ally, and the Islamic movements Hamas and Hezbollah, supported by Tehran.
