US Failed to Form a Coalition in Persian Gulf, says Mohamed Javad Zarif

Tehran: Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohamed Javad Zarif on Monday said that the US failed to create a naval coalition in the Persian Gulf because its allies had “refused” to join it.

“The US is all alone in the world today. It cannot form a coalition in areas that it claims to be a superpower such as the military area,” Zarif said during a press conference in Tehran.

“Today, the US is alone in the world and cannot create a coalition. Countries that are its friends are too ashamed of being in a coalition with them. They brought this situation upon themselves, with lawbreaking, by creating tensions and crises.

“Other countries are embarrassed to have their names on a list next to the US. The era of (the US being) a superpower and bullying is over,” he was quoted as saying by Efe news. (IANS)
