Iranian President Hasan Rouhani warned the United States against Isolating the Islamic Republic, stressing that Washington will pay dearly for such attempts.

“The Americans claim that they want to break off the bridges connecting Iran with the world, but they will never reach that goal,” Rouhani said at a Tuesday meeting with Iranian expatriates in Vienna, Austria. “They are not the world’s absolute power.”

In the past, whenever the US would try to stage a plot against the Iranian nation, it could convince a part of the world to follow suit, but evidently that is not the case in today’s world, where Washington has little support in its hostile stance against Iran, Rouhani said.

“This situation makes the US confrontation with Iran very costly, and that the Islamic Republic of Iran, too, is determined to negate the Americans’ plots as it always has, since their positions are illogical, illegal, tyrannical, and against international commitments and the UN Security Council’s resolutions.”

The Zionists and Americans have been trying to weaken or possibly cut off Iran’s ties with other countries of the world including its neighbors and friendly states with the aim of isolating the Islamic Republic or in other words spreading Iran-phobia in the region and around the globe, the Iranian president said.

“At the current historical juncture, the new US rulers consider themselves as being superior not only to Iran, but also to our entire region, Muslims and, essentially, all non-Americans,” Rouhani said.

Washington has also withdrawn from the UN Human Rights Council, confronted its own allies at the Group of Seven, and acted against the Palestinian nation and other Muslim peoples, Rouhani said.
