US expects no fundamental change under Iran's new president

The US does not expect any fundamental change under Iran's new president, the State Department said Monday.

Reformist candidate and former Health Minister Masoud Pezeshkian won Iran's July 5 presidential run-off with 53.7% of the vote, becoming the country's ninth president.

"We have no expectations that this election will lead to a fundamental change in Iran’s direction or its policies. At the end of the day, it's not the president that has the ultimate say over the future of Iran's policy. It’s the supreme leader," spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.
