Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the Iranian nation has managed to shatter “the myth of US omnipotence” despite Washington’s machinations against the Islamic Republic in the past 40 years.

“Iranians forced the US client to leave 40 years ago today. 3 years ago today, JCPOA entered into force, ending yrs of securitization of Iran. In spite of US machinations v. Iran for the past 40 years— & its withdrawal from JCPOA— Iranians have shattered the myth of US omnipotence,” Zarif said in a message posted on his Twitter account on Wednesday.

By “the US client”, Zarif was referring to Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the former US-backed Shah of Iran who fled the country on January 16, 1979, a few weeks before the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
