Tabriz (IP) -The Iranian President Said on Thursday that despite the US claim to be the world Super Power, it is really afraid of the politically knowledgeable Zarif's interview with the American media.

Iran Press/Iran news:Sanctioning Iran is tantamount to their failure in abiding by their commitments to the international organizations, the United Nations, and an 82-million nation, said President Rouhani in the inauguration ceremony of phase one of the Heris Combined Cycle Power Plant, northwest of Iran.

President Rouhani said that they try to compensate for their failure through imposing sanctions but to no avail. Iran like Europe will be hurt, he said but the good side of such sanctions is that Iran will be the only one who gains. "We stand on our own feet; we have had great advances in new technological-know how", he said, reported Iran Press.

Referring to US President Donald Trump's tweet as saying, "Just remember, the Iranians never won a war, but never lost a negotiation," President Rouhani said that the enemy admits Iran's victory in negotiations but rejects its victories in wars.

The US has had a 'childish behavior' through imposing the harshest sanctions on Iran in the past 16 months, Rouhani said that this means that Iran's enemies have become powerless and have lost their wisdom.

Rouhani went on to add that US is afraid of having interview with the Informed and knowledgeable person so that Mohammad Javad Zarif's interview is considered as the source for US month- long anger.
