Iran’s supreme leader asks Iran people to not trust America even with Biden

As the power shift in the United States is in process, countries are figuring out their relationships with America after democrat leader Joe Biden takes over the White House. Iran too is not far.

During the Trump administration, the two countries did not see eye to eye and that led to a lot of complications and the relations became a lot more complex. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenie has warned against any hopes of 'opening’ against the west after the President of the country Hassan Rouhani gave a slight hint of his willingness to cooperate with Biden in power.

On this the supreme leader passed comments through a television broadcast saying, “We can't trust foreigners and hope for an opening on their part. We tried to lift sanctions once and negotiated for several years, but to no avail," he said, directly painting fingers at the 2015 failed nuclear deal between Iran and America.

While campaigning during the election, the president-elect Biden had promised that he would take a more democratic approach towards Iran and this especially gained a lot of attention because Trump’s office has always been against this idea.

To discuss such mattress, Khamenei called for a meeting with Rouhani, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and judicial chief Ebrahim Raisi where he clearly expressed his trust issues with the foreigners.

Since 2018, the agreement between the two countries is meaningless as the US unilaterally decided to withdraw itself from the agreement. The agreement ensured Iran that it would be free of sanctions and that it will only have to curb its nuclear expansion programs in exchange. The Trump administration since 2018 has been imposing sanctions of Iran and even with the coronavirus pandemic in the scene, the sanctions are as serious.

Soon after this step by the Trump American government, Iran started to reduce its commitment towards the deal by breaching what was promised by it in the first place.

Biden’s victory led Iran’s president to rely on hopes that were being passed on by the western power and the government also sent signals indicating that they might be open for further dialogue with the US.
