RNA - "Empowerment of the Republicans or Democrats makes no difference in the US. Obama who claimed 8 years ago that he would close the Guantanamo prison or withdraw the US forces from Iraq and Afghanistan, didn’t keep his promises," Amoli Larijani said, addressing a meeting of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) commanders and personnel in Tehran on Saturday.
"They approved $38bln of financial aid to the Zionist regime, no matter who would rule the country, the Republicans or the Democrats," he added.
Amoli Larijani also referred to the US attacks against the civilians and hospitals in Afghanistan, and said Washington is also supplying Saudi Arabia with weapons that are being used to massacre the Yemeni children, women and men.
In relevant remarks in August, Iranian Supreme Leader's top adviser for international affairs Ali Akbar Velayati underlined that Tehran sees no difference between the US Republicans and Democrats in the 2016 presidential race, given the latter's bad record in remaining loyal to their undertakings.
"There is no difference between the Democrats and Republicans and we don’t see any difference between them in the US presidential election," Velayati said in an interview with al-Mayadeen news channel.
"The democrats proved that they are not committed to their undertakings under on the nuclear deal and are no different than the Republicans," he added.
