Iran's president said on Tuesday that the results of the US presidential election showed the American people had joined the world in opposing US President Donald Trump.
Speaking during a virtual meeting with other global leaders, Hassan Rouhani said the American people decided to bring about change after seeing the world's response to the US administration's policies.

"The US presidential election results show that a country which is constantly wielding threats, sanctions and weapons and which takes a bullying tone towards other nations must be pursuing a misled foreign policy," he said.
Tensions have spiked between the United States and Iran since 2018, when Trump exited a nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, and then re-imposed sanctions that have crippled Iran's economy.
President-elect Joe Biden has pledged to rejoin Iran's 2015 nuclear accord with six powers, a deal that was agreed by Washington when he was vice president, if Tehran also returns to compliance.
In retaliation for Trump's actions, Tehran has gradually reduced its commitments to the accord. But Iran's clerical rulers have said those steps were reversible if Tehran's interests were respected.
Iran's leaders have so far ruled out any talks aimed at further curbing Tehran's nuclear activity, halting its ballistic missile program and limiting the Islamic Republic's regional influence.
