Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Chariff at a joint press conference with Iraqi foreign ministers in Baghdad, Iraq, April 26, 2021.
Iranian Foreign Minister Chariff complained in a leaked recording last week about the power of the late Revolutionary Guards commander Sulaimani during his lifetime, saying he repeatedly “sacrificed” diplomacy for what he called the “military community.” On April 2, after Supreme Leader Hamini publicly rebuked the matter, Chariff tweeted that he was sorry for disturbing Hamini’s inner peace. The tweet said he was sorry to have disturbed Hamini’s inner peace.
The leaked recording was made by Iran International, a London-based Persian-language satellite news channel, which aired more than three hours of the seven-hour interview on April 25.
According to the broadcast, Mohammad Javad Zarif said he has repeatedly “sacrificed” diplomacy for what he called the “military community. He was referring to the military operations and political activities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), particularly the Quds Force, which was led by the late Qasem Soleimani, commander of the IRGC’s elite Quds Force, during his lifetime.
Chariff also said that after Iran signed a nuclear deal with the powers in 2015, Soleimani went to Russia to try to sabotage the agreement. He also complained that there were many things he was kept in the dark about, including Iran’s military operations in Syria and Iraq.
Suleimani was killed by a U.S. drone strike near Baghdad airport in the Iraqi capital last January.
Al Jazeera reported that Khamenei (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) was “surprised and regretted” in a televised speech on the 2nd, but did not directly name Chariff.
Khamenei does not believe that statements should be made that would convey the connotation of a statement in line with the U.S. side, whether it is directed at the Quds Force or at Suleimani.
The newspaper said Hamini’s statement will fuel the already inflamed Tehran political hardliners, further attacking the Chaarev and President Rouhani (Hassan Rouhani) government, and will also call for Chaarev’s resignation, leaving his political future under a cloud.
It is reported that the career diplomat’s popularity is relatively high in the middle of the position but weak reformists, he has repeatedly expressed no ambition to run for the presidential election in June. He has previously said that he may want to continue to work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or to step down from his official position to teach at the university.
The company’s newest product is a new product that will be available in the marketplace.
The company also tweeted that its “open and honest experience” was leaked, and even Hamini’s quiet heart was disturbed, for which he was sorry.”
Rouhani said that the leaked recordings are an attempt to divide Iran’s enemies and ordered the intelligence services to investigate who leaked the content of the recordings, and the judiciary and parliament are also investigating this.
Rouhani also removed Hesamodin Ashna, director of the Center for Strategic Studies in the president’s office, who arranged the interview with Chariff.
