President Rouhani: Netanyahu's Anger Pleases Iran -- FARS News Agency (Iran)
"That an aggressive regime in the region names Iran with coarse language is the cause of our happiness," Rouhani told reporters after a cabinet meeting in Tehran on Wednesday.
"Israel is upset to see that its sword has gone blunt and Iran grows more powerful day by day," he added.
Elsewhere, Rouhani elaborated on the achievements of his recent visit to New York during which he attended and addressed the UN General Assembly session, held meetings with different world leaders, and had a phone talk with US President Barack Obama, and said, "During the recent visit to the UN, we strove to prevent a new war in the region and we came to be successful in the trip."

My Comment: The money quote in this Iranian news report is the following ....
.... "Before my trip (to New York), the Americans had sent 5 messages to arrange a meeting between me and Obama, but I turned them down."
"Then they raised a plan for a brief meeting, but I didn’t agree (with it) much,; we didn’t disagree with (the idea to have) a meeting, but its grounds weren’t prepared."
Talk about "stroking" one's ego.
