Iran Sees Obama Win as a Bush Defeat

TEHRAN, Iran - Iranians welcomed Barack Obama's victory as the next U.S. president Wednesday as a triumph over the unpopular policies of President George W. Bush.

Bush repeatedly clashed with Iranian leaders while in office over Iran's controversial nuclear program and Tehran's opposition to the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq in 2001 and 2003 respectively.

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Obama's victory was a vote for change in America.

"Obama's victory ... shows the clear support of the American people for fundamental changes in America's domestic and foreign policies," Iran's official news agency IRNA quoted Mottaki as saying Wednesday.

Prominent lawmaker Gholam Ali Haddad Adel said the vote for Obama means Bush has failed.
