AFP, TEHRAN: Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei said Wednesday that the result of the US election made “no difference” to the Islamic republic despite president-elect Donald Trump’s aggressive stance.
“We have no judgement on this election because America is the same America,” he told thousands of people during a public speech in Tehran, broadcast on state television.
“In the past 37 years, neither of the two parties who were in charge did us any good and their evil has always been directed toward us.”
It was his first reaction to the election of Trump, who during his campaign labelled last year’s nuclear deal between Iran and world powers a “disaster” and threatened to tear it up.
“We neither mourn nor celebrate, because it makes no difference to us,” Khamenei said.
