Iranian According to the official news agency IRNA, responsible for strategic affairs President Deputy Zarif presented the letter of resignation to President Mesud Pazeskiyan.
He hasn’t answered yet!
Pezşkiyan said that Zarif has not yet responded to his resignation letter.
It was noteworthy that the resignation of Vice President Zarif would come after the dismissal of Economy Minister Abdunnasır Himmeti by the Assembly. The Himmeti, accused of being ineffective against the problems in the economy, was dismissed by the parliament yesterday.
Zarif worked as the Minister of Foreign Affairs between 2013-2021 during the period of former President Hasan Rouhani and was one of the architects of the nuclear agreement signed in 2015. Zarif was appointed as the Vice President in charge of Strategic Affairs by President Pezşkiyan in August.
Zarif, who was targeted by extreme conservative groups, implied that the government resigned in August, where he received confidence in the parliament, but then continued his duty.
Zarif recently attracted the reaction of the over -conservative groups in the country because of his statements on the headscarf ban on the World Economic Forum (Wef) held in the town of Davos in the town of Switzerland and his attacks on October 7, 2023. Demonstrations were organized by some groups in Tehran and Mashhad against Zarif.
