After the results of the election officially led to Biden’s election to the presidency, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said today that he was not happy about Joe Biden’s winning the US presidential election, but he was happy that “terrorist” Donald Trump is leaving his post.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is not happy about Biden’s victory, but happy that Trump is leaving his post. These remarks are being reaffirmed after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday and reported here in Behadrei Haredim that “Tehran’s missile program is not negotiable, and that US President-elect Joe Biden is” well aware of it. “
Rouhani demanded a change in U.S. policy, including the abolition of sanctions and compensation for the economic damage caused during the U.S. withdrawal from the 2018 nuclear deal.
Tensions between Washington and Tehran have risen since 2018, when President Donald Trump abandoned the nuclear deal, reinstating harsh economic sanctions to pressure Tehran to negotiate its nuclear program.
In addition, Iran is angry with Joe Biden, after the national security adviser appointed by Biden condemned the execution of a journalist by the Iranian regime. The execution of journalist Ruhla Zam is a “horrific violation of human rights,” President Joe Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday. Zam’s execution drew international condemnation, including from human rights organizations and the European Union.
The journalist was convicted of inciting violence during anti-government demonstrations in late 2017, and was executed on Saturday, state media reported. He ran ‘Amdnews’, a channel in the popular messaging app ‘Telegram’ which had over a million followers. There he published things condemning the regime.
