On Wednesday, the Iranian government dismissed the significance of the U.S. presidential election outcome, stating that it “has nothing to do with us.” Fatemeh Mohajerani, a spokeswoman for the regime, made these remarks during a press briefing.
“The general policies of the U.S. and Iran are constant,” she asserted, emphasizing that the election results will not change the dynamics between the two nations. She further added, “It doesn’t matter who becomes the president in the United States because all the necessary planning has been made in advance.”
In her statement, Mohajerani indicated that Iran sees no difference between the two main candidates, President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. “We do not see any difference between these two people,” she said.
She also suggested that the sanctions imposed on Iran have only strengthened the country internally. “Sanctions have strengthened Iran’s internal power, and we have the power to deal with new sanctions,” she stated confidently.
Trump is set to return to the U.S. presidency amidst ongoing turmoil and instability in the Middle East. He has made clear his intention to resolve the situation. Throughout his campaign, he promised to bring peace to the region.
“Get it over with and let’s get back to peace and stop killing people,” Trump said during an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt in April, referring to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
While the Revolutionary Guards did not issue a direct comment on Trump’s election victory, they conveyed their readiness to confront Israel. Tehran and its allied forces in the region are prepared for escalation.
“The Zionists do not have the power to confront us, and they must wait for our response … our depots have enough weapons for that,” said Ali Fadavi, the deputy chief of the Revolutionary Guards, on Wednesday. His statement came as Tehran is expected to retaliate against Israeli airstrikes on its territory on October 25, which resulted in the deaths of four Iranian soldiers.
