Mohammad Jawad Zarif, Vice President of Iran.
Dubai: After the start of nuclear talks between Iran and America, there has been a stir in Tehran’s politics. Iran’s Vice President Mohammad Jawad Zarif has suddenly resigned from his post. Let me tell you that Jawad Zarif is the one who was a major negotiator from Tehran during the nuclear deal with the powerful countries of the world in 2015. But now suddenly he has resigned from his post. President Masood Page Seshakian has also announced to accept his resignation.
The announcement of President Pageshkian on Tuesday night in connection with Mohammad Jawad Zarif came at a time when Iran is preparing for a second round of talks with the US regarding its fast growing nuclear program. Meanwhile, the visit of Rafael Mariano Gossi, head of the international nuclear power agency starting on Wednesday, may include talks about what their inspectors can reach under a proposed deal.
Why Jarif resigns
He has not made any announcement about why Zawad Zarif suddenly resigned from his post nor has any concrete reason for the government. But his resignation has taken place at a time when Donald Trump is pressurizing and threatening Iran to continuously make nuclear agreement. In such a situation, before the start of the second round of talks, Jarif’s resignation has come into the limelight. Earlier, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened that if there is no agreement, he will carry out airstrikes by targeting Iran’s nuclear program.
What did Peacekian say after taking Zarif’s resignation
Iranian officials are constantly warning that they can try to make nuclear weapons by enriching their uranium reserves. Porashakian praised Zarif’s resignation and praised him. Zarif worked as a prominent supporter of Pageshkian in the last year’s election. Zarif submitted his resignation to Porashakian in March. The President, however, did not immediately respond to the letter. But in a statement issued by the President’s Office late on Tuesday evening, it was said that Porashakian has written a letter to Zarif in which he has been praised, but his resignation has been accepted.
A statement issued by the President’s Office said, “Pageshkian insisted that his administration can no longer benefit from Zarif’s valuable knowledge and expertise due to some issues. In the meantime, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned the US to take a contradictory stance in talks on Wednesday. (AP)
