Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman says there is a “striking contrast” between US President-elect Joe Biden’s comments and Donald Trump’s acts, but Iran must wait and see how the incoming administration will act.
The Iranian president says Tehran is not overjoyed at Joe Biden taking office as the next US president, but is happy to see President Donald Trump leaving.
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani says Tehran will not accept any preconditions, like the inclusion of its missile program and regional activities in the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, and will not renegotiate the accord, officially known as the JCPOA.
Iran’s first vice president says the country must prepare itself for the scenario in which incoming US President Joe Biden refuses to lift anti-Iran sanctions.
The Iranian foreign minister says he had “professional relationship with US President-elect Joe Biden based on mutual respect” when he was a senator at the US Senate.
