Iranian leader’s first reaction to Trump election
The recent election of Donald J. Trump to the presidency of the United States has little impact on the Islamic Republic, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Wednesday, according to AFP.
“We have no judgement on this election because America is the same America,” the Iranian leader said during a broadcast on state television.
“In the past 37 years,” he continued, “neither of the two parties who were in charge did us any good and their evil has always been directed toward us.”
Advisers to Trump have said he plans to strictly police the Iran nuclear deal formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which the 45th commander- in-chief has referred to as a “disaster” and one of the worst ever negotiated in history.
“We neither mourn nor celebrate, because it makes no difference to us,” Khamenei said.
“We have no concerns. Thank God, we are prepared to confront any possible incident.”
The US and Iran have not had formal relations since 1979, when Iranian activists stormed the American embassy in Tehran, capturing 52 US citizens holding them for 444 days.

Why Concern when you have Chinese and Russian? One can give you money and all technologies, and the other would provide you with weapons and logistics. Of course, not to mention Iran that is mastering in all of the above.
