Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Thursday that a U.S. decision to impose sanctions on Mohammad Javad Zarif showed Washington is afraid of the top diplomat.
"They are afraid of our foreign minister's interviews," Rouhani said in a televised speech, referring to a recent round of interviews Zarif gave to foreign media in New York.
"They [Americans] are resorting to childish behavior... They were claiming every day 'We want to talk, with no preconditions' ... and then they sanction the foreign minister," Rouhani said. "This means they have lost the power of rational thought."
