Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif
Elizabeth Palmer and Tucker Reals, CBS News: Why Iran sees Biden as the "more promising" candidate in the U.S. election
Tehran — Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has indicated to CBS News that the Islamic Republic's leadership would prefer Joe Biden win the U.S. election.
It was a first for a country that has been reluctant to tip its hand. Zarif first insisted that Iran's government has no preference between President Donald Trump or Biden, but pushed to respond, Zarif said that "the statements by the Biden camp have been more promising, but we will have to wait and see."
He stressed, however, that it's not what the new administration says during the campaign that counts, but what it does in office. "What is important for us is how the White House behaves after the election, not what promises are there, what slogans are made.
The behavior of the U.S. is important. If the U.S. decides to stop its malign behavior against Iran, then it will be a different story no matter who sits in the White House," the U.S.-educated diplomat said.
