"Iran calls upon the newly elected US President Donald Trump to abandon the hostile policy towards Tehran, which he conducted in the first period of his tenure," Fatemeh Mohajerani, the official representative of the Iranian government, stated during the briefing.
"The policy of exerting maximum pressure on Iran, conducted by Donald Trump, has completely failed. We call on the Trump administration to reconsider its wrong policy. "The Iranian government is developing various economic response strategies against possible new restrictions by the United States and strives to fully ensure national interests," he said.
Mohajerani answered the question about the possibility of starting negotiations with the new American administration. "Iran, under the leadership of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will do everything to ensure the interests of the people."
