That is indeed a shame. However Zarifs case is different from that of the rest of the reformist government. When he said that he was just a misinformed diplomat, but still a Iranian patriot.
This view is a natural notion, it is very hard to believe what kind of deterrence Iran has achieved. Looking at the nuclear weapon capability of the U.S, it is a natural notion to believe that Iran has no chance anyway.
Only someone very informed can have a different view here. Even nuclear weapons excluded: US propaganda and PR plus secretiveness of Iran regarding its capabilities can easily cause such a view.
What is important is that after this event, Zarif was briefed by the IRGC and this changed his view. After that he never said such nonsense again. He has no agenda like many of Rohanis clique. Even Rohani himself has positively corrected his approach to some extend, although he is not "clean" like Zarif.
Zarif is a diplomat and good at his job: Look at his effort after the RQ-4 shot down, he just does his job.
A real shame are those young Iranians that applause him in the video...
