Despite his apology for bemoaning the influence Iran’s military enjoys over diplomacy in a leaked audio, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif continues to face mounting pressure over his controversial remarks.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei labeled Zarif’s comments as a “big mistake” and slammed the top diplomat for parroting the “words of the enemy” in his criticism of top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force.
“The country’s policies are made of different economic, military, social, scientific and cultural plans, including foreign relations and diplomacy,” Khamenei said in televised remarks.
