Tehran (KNA): Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani emphasized that today the United States is in its worst position ever, with traditional allies distancing themselves from the US, and even international bodies such as United Nations, IAEA, UNESCO, and ICC all opposing Trump administration policies .

President Rouhani pointedly added: "The Iranian nation follows the path of Chief of Martyrs, Aba Abdollah Al-Hussein (peace be upon him), and without a doubt the Iranian nation shall emerge victorious in its current epioc battle against the enemies of Islam.
Turning to United States, president Rouhani said: "Today, the allies of America are not supporting them politically and even America's traditional allies have distanced from this country and they are proud of this distance, while once they were proud of being with the US."
He also went on to say: "Today, the US is in the worst conditions in the world and even international organisations like UNESCO, UN, IAEA and ICC do not agree with US policies".

Posting a message on Twitter on Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister harshly criticized the newly adopted measures of US government against the judges of the International Criminal Court.
Zarif's tweet came after the US National Security Adviser John Bolton threatened the international criminal court (ICC) on Monday with sanctions and made an excoriating attack on the institution in a speech in Washington, MNA reported.
This is not the first time that US, under Donald Trump is turning his back on international organisations and adopt an aggressive posture toward them.
Since President Donald Trump took office in 2017, the US has quit the UN cultural agency UNESCO, cut UN funding and announced its withdrawal from the UN-backed Paris climate agreement and Iran nuclear deal.
On June, the United States has announced its withdrawal from the United Nation Human Rights Council (UNHRC) over what it calls the body's entrenched bias against Israel.
The US administration has for long been pushing the UNHRC to end its scrutiny of Israel's widespread human rights abuses against Palestinians.
