Iran has called on Donald Trump, the winner of the last US presidential election, to change the policy of pressure he has followed during his first term against the Islamic Republic.
"Trump must show that he will no longer follow the wrong policies of the past," said Iran's vice president for strategic affairs, Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Former Foreign Minister Zarif was the architect of the nuclear deal, which was signed in 2015 between Tehran and the international community, including the United States of America.
But that deal was sabotaged three years later, when then-President Donald Trump withdrew his country from it and imposed heavy new sanctions as part of a "maximum pressure" policy against Iran.
"As a man of calculations, he must examine the benefits and shortcomings of this policy and decide whether he wants to continue or change this harmful policy," Zarif said, referring to Trump's career as a businessman.
Donald Trump's first term was also marked by his decision in January 2020 to kill in Iraq the powerful Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, the architect of Iran's regional influence strategy.
Through its diplomatic representative Ismail Baghaei, Tehran expressed hope that the possible return of Donald Trump to the White House will enable a review of the wrong approach of the past, although Trump was not mentioned by name.
Iran's leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all strategic decisions, did not mention the US presidential election in his speech last Thursday.
Trump confidently stated that he has no intention of harming Iran, but on the contrary, he wants Iranians to have a very prosperous country.
Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election marks a sensitive moment for Iran, which is involved in the war in Gaza between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas, as well as the spillover of the conflict in Lebanon to Hezbollah.
These two groups are supported financially and militarily by Tehran in their fight against the state of Israel, which Iran does not recognize.
