On Thursday, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, described the 2020 US Presidential elections as 'spectacle' saying that it is the most rigged elections throughout history.
He stressed that his country is not concerned regarding who will win the US elections, noting that the result of election “will not affect” Tehran’s policy towards Washington.
He added that the vote has exposed the reality of the US false democracy.

US President Donald Trump has caused widespread disquiet, even among leaders of his own Republican Party, by flatly alleging fraud.
His Democratic challenger Joe Biden’s campaign team, on the other hand, has accused the incumbent of seeking to deny the electoral rights of tens of thousands of postal voters.
More than 24 hours after the last polling stations closed in the US state of Alaska, the battle for the White House remains undecided.
Despite US allegations that Tehran sought to use social media to influence voters in the run-up to polling day, Iran’s leadership has publicly insisted it favours neither candidate, despite their sharply pergent policies towards Tehran.
Trump has led a campaign of “maximum pressure” against the Islamic republic, pulling Washington out of a multilateral deal on Iran’s nuclear programme and re-imposing crippling unilateral sanctions.
Biden has signaled he is ready to rejoin the landmark nuclear agreement struck in 2015 during his time as vice president under Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama.
The long sanctions have significantly damaged the Iranian economy, leading to sharp currency devaluation and high inflation.
Iran has said it will not be pressured to renegotiate the nuclear deal and will adhere to all its commitments once the US lifts all sanctions and returns to the negotiating table.
