"We are trying to influence on Iran with other tools. Furthermore, we are facing a presidential election. Iran will elect President in two years. Under the circumstances it makes no sense to wage war," he said. Victory of a Democrat at the presidential election in the U.S. will not change foreign policy, according to him. "The U.S. policy doesn't depend on a party; it defends national interests proceeding from the world situation," Mr Welt said.
