Hardliners in Iran have stepped up their attacks of foreign minister Javad Zarif for his leaked remarks following harsh criticism by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
The Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif has not returned home yet. Late Saturday he published an Instagram post in which he apologized to Ghasem Soleimani's family.
The spokesman of Hassan Rouhani has accused Iran International of waging a "psychological war against the people of Iran," for publishing audio file of foreign minister Javad Zarif.
Iran's leader Ali Khamenei will address the nation on May 2, as a political storm triggered by foreign minister Javad Zarif's leaked tape has gathered steam.
Iranian lawmakers want to pass a motion to sue President Hassan Rouhani and foreign minister Javad Zarif for an audio recording leaked out to the media.
A leaked audio recording of Iran's foreign minister Javad Zarif has taken its first victim in Iran. Hesamoddin Ashena is out of his job as head of the Center for Strategic Studies.
