Bakai: The result of the US elections will not change Iran's policy The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at a press conference: Protection of the national security and vital interests of the country is the first priority of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Historical experience and the history of 70 years of American hostility from the coup on August 19, 1332 until now have proven that the change of governments or the movement of parties in Washington does not change the nature of America's behavior towards Iran. The developments of the American elections were not the criteria for Tehran's strategic decisions and Iran focused on relying on internal capabilities and strengthening national authority in all areas.
