Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif expressed hope that the new US administration will revise Washington�s �economic terrorism� policy against Iran.

In an interview with Rusiya Al-Yaum TV, FM Zarif referred to the current US policy on Iran, which is �substantially an economic war� and �economic terrorism� against the Iranian nation, saying that Biden�s warranty to revise the US foreign policy seems to be a long-term promise.

The Iranian foreign minister also expressed hope that the new US administration could push ahead bilateral ties with Iran in a �correct path.�

The Biden administration could kick-start de-escalation between Washington and Tehran, he stated.

The foreign minister went on to say that he has never been a friend of Joe Biden, noting that the imagination that his personal relation with Biden could end up in a big diplomatic progress between the two longstanding rivals (the US and Iran) is wrong.
