Iran says it will judge the new US government on the basis of its policies and approaches after Donald Trump won the presidential election on Wednesday.

According to The Iran Project, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeili Baghaei said Thursday that Trump's victory is an opportunity for the United States to reassess its "wrong policies" in the past.

The US, under then-president Trump, unilaterally withdrew in 2018 from a nuclear accord signed in 2015 with Iran and imposed a series of draconian sanctions on the Islamic Republic. 

"We have very bitter experiences with the policies and approaches of different US governments in the past,” Baghaei was quoted as saying by IRNA news agency.
The results of the "elections are an opportunity to review and revise the wrong approaches of the past," he added.

Baghaei reiterated Iran's earlier position that the results of the US election are of no consequence to the Islamic Republic. 

"The choice of the American president is the responsibility of the people of that country, and now the American people have made their choice," he said.
"What is important for Iran is the performance of the American government as the evaluation criterion," he added. 

On Wednesday, Iran’s Government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani also told reporters in Tehran that Iran does not see any difference between Trump and his Democratic election rival Kamala Harris.
