Iran Press/ Iran news: Speaking in a TV interview, Mohammad Javad Zarif stressed that Americans have been miscalculating for the past 17 years and the recent vote at the United Nations Security Council is among a few matters that European countries didn't follow Americans.
He noted that the US government has always tried to extend the UN arms embargo on Iran, saying that "the US faced failure in this case because of its wrong policy, which began since the Trump's decision in withdrawing from JCPOA."
Zarif went on to say that "the US government are now in a predicament as its resolution was not passed in the United Nations Security Council, the US officials do not understand that the world's situation has been changed, and this country has always tried to move against the international community."
Underling that the era of the US as a superpower is over, Zarif added: "Americans thought they can gain the positive votes in the UNSC, but they failed and even European countries didn't support the US resolution against Iran."
The United Nations Security Council overwhelmingly rejected a US resolution to extend an Iranian arms embargo on Friday.
Only two of the Council's 15 members voted in favor, highlighting the division between Washington and its European allies since US President Donald Trump withdrew from the nuclear accord in May 2018.
Besides the United States, only the Dominican Republic voted in favor of the draft. China and Russia voted against the text, and the remaining 11 Security Council members, including the European allies of the United States, abstained.
