We have very bitter experiences of various previous American governments' policies and attitudes, says Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei according to the state news agency Irna.
The country's president Masoud Pezeshkian claims that Trump's victory "does not play any role". Iran prioritizes relations with its neighbors and other Islamic countries, says Pezeshkian according to Irna.
The USA and Iran have been sworn enemies since the Islamic revolution in 1979, but tensions reached a new level during Trump's first term 2017-2021.
During that time, the USA introduced strict sanctions against Iran and withdrew from the nuclear agreement JCPOA.
Moreover, Qasem Soleimani, a prominent commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, was killed in an American drone attack in Baghdad under Trump's leadership.
