Iran’s IRGC: Trump Election Makes No Difference

As Iranian foreign minister said that the US president-elect Donald Trump has to stick to international agreements, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stressed that the election of the Republican made no difference for Tehran.

“Every US president has to understand the realities of today’s world. The most important thing is that the future US president stick to agreements, to engagements undertaken,” Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in Romania.

Trump has vowed to rip up last year’s deal with world powers which lifted international sanctions in return for curbs on Iran’s nuclear program.

Meanwhile, The deputy commander of the elite Revolutionary Guards, Hossein Salami, said it made no difference to Iran who was in the White House.

“When the Republicans were in power, they threatened us and showed their hostility… and when the Democrats were in power, the policies of the United States were the same,” Salami told the Fars news agency.

On the other hand,   Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation said it was prepared for any eventuality.

“We have defined our nuclear program in such a way that we can continue in any situation,” spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi told the state broadcaster.
