Iran Press/Iran News: Abbas Araghchi in a conversation about the US election on Wednesday said: "As an international relations expert, I cannot use a better phrase than the one used by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution about the US election: This election is truly spectacular."
He stated: "A country that claims to have the greatest democracy in the world and is governed by the oldest democratic traditions is in a situation where all the things that they accused other countries of, now happen within themselves; they accuse each other of fraud and call the whole election corrupt because of the frauds they claim."
Political deputy at Iran's Foreign Ministry noted: "They take their fans to the streets, set up camps on the streets, and do things that they criticized and sometimes ridiculed others of, is now being experienced by themselves. In my opinion, they fully showed the false awe of the US democracy, and it shattered that awe and showed what structural weaknesses they have."
The United States society has become bipolar
Araghchi added: "The US elections showed another reality and that is the polarization of the US society. The United States has reached a point where there are exactly two nearly equal poles, and these two powers are competing and cannot tolerate each other."
He said: "Trump, with all the characteristics we know of him, almost 50% of the US people vote for him. All the traits and vices that exist in Trump - those coercive policies, bullying, and moving against all rules - yet half of the US population is in favor of him, which I think can be studied, and it can be a threat to the world."
Trump's thinking is popular in the US society
Political deputy at Iran's Foreign Ministry stated: "Trump, whether he goes or not, the Trumpist thinking and the ideology that considers himself superior to the rest of the world and does not believe in any cooperation and puts aside all international agreements and interactions and considers himself first and sacrifices everything, this is 50 percent popular in the US society, and it shows that the US leaders, in addition to themselves, have led their society into political decline, and these are the things that the world is paying attention to."
