Opportunity to review wrong approaches of American government: Iran

Former President Donald Trump's return to the White House could mean tougher enforcement of U.S. oil sanctions against Iran

US elections are an opportunity to review the "wrong approaches" of the American government, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Thursday according to state media, after Donald Trump won the presidency on Wednesday.

Former President Donald Trump's return to the White House could mean tougher enforcement of U.S. oil sanctions against Iran, which he initiated in 2018 after exiting a nuclear pact between Tehran and global powers.

"We had bitter experiences with various U.S. governments' past policies and approaches. Elections are an opportunity to review the wrong approaches of the past," Baghaei said.

"What is important for Iran will be how we evaluate the actions of the US government," Baghaei further said.
