Iran's Zarif says U.S. failed to build coalition in the Gulf

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Monday that the United States was isolated in the world and was unable to create a coalition with its allies in the Gulf.

"The U.S. is standing alone in the world..it cannot create a coalition (in the Gulf)," he told a news conference.

The United States wanted to deprive Iran of its rights, he said.
