TEHRAN - President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Thursday that it "does make a difference" for Iran who has won the presidential elections in the United States, noting Iran and its political system is reliant on its own power and its great and noble nation.   

It was the first reaction by the Iranian president since Donald Trump won the White House in the presidential elections on November 5.

Pezeshkian added, "In developing our relations with other countries we will never have a 'closed or limited' view."

The president said Iran prioritizes developing ties with Muslim and neighboring countries and deeply believes in fostering unity among Islamic nations.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeili Baghaei also said on Thursday that Iran will judge the new U.S. government on the basis of its policies and approaches.  Baghaei said Trump's victory has provided an opportunity for the United States to reassess its "wrong policies".
