The Iranian parliament rebuked Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif for his attempts to negotiate with the US administration, just three weeks after the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the head of foreign operations in the Revolutionary Guards, in a US drone strike in Baghdad early last year.
A spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, Abul-Fadl Amoui, said that the decision to debrief the minister came after his “unjustified absence” at a meeting held by the committee last September, to question him about his request to negotiate with the US administration three weeks after Soleimani’s killing.
