Iran has ended speculations of possible ties with White House after the U.S. elections.
Iranian nation "detests America", according to the nations top religious and political leader.
U.S. is often referred to as the "Great Satan".
Iran wants "no easing of animosity" with Washington anytime soon.
The two nations have been bitter foes since the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
Our hatred for America is "deep", said Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Ayatollah said the nuclear dispute with U.S. was beyond differences of opinion on a few political issues. Iranian people "hate America" because of its plots against our country for the past 50 years.
Iranians blame America for removing their elected Prime Minister Mosadeq in 1953. Ayatollah Khamenei holds U.S. responsible for the coup that disposed Mr Mosaddeq. Iranian leader said America was not interested in democracy in Iran. He accused the U.S. for installing the Shah as a dictator in 1953.
Ayatollah Khamenei praised the students of the Revolution who took American diplomates from the U.S Embassy in Tehran.
American diplomates were declared "spies" by Iran and held as hostages for a year. They were released after U.S. finally bowed to Iranian demands. Ayatollah said seizing the American diplomates from the Embassy was a "great move" by the brave students. They have acted against the "den of espionage".
Supreme Leader of Iran demanded that United States apologise for its "past crimes" against the Iranian nation. America "must admit" that it did wrong to Iranians in 1953.
If U.S. seeks closer ties, it "must apologise" to Iranians, said the Ayatollah.
