Iranian President Hassan Rouhani highlighted the US government’s isolation in the international arena and said currently, even Washington’s close allies have “distanced themselves” from its unilateral measures, Tasnim News Agency reported.

“Today, there are a small number of scholars, intellectuals and commentators in the United States who agree with the White House officials, and even some of them explicitly describe them as fools and idiots, and this is rare in American history,” Rouhani said during a cabinet session on Wednesday.

“Today, the US’ allies do not side with it politically and even its traditional allies have distanced themselves from this country and are proud of this distance,” he said, adding, “This is while they once were proud to be with the United States.”

Washington is now in its “worst global situation”, Rouhani said, adding that even international organizations such as the UNESCO, the United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), are opposed to the US policies.
