Did Iran’s foreign minister write to Tillerson?
An Iranian hard-line member of parliament has claimed that Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is engaged in correspondence with the US secretary of state.
Iranian hard-line member of parliament Javad Karimi Ghoddousi is one of Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s staunch enemies. Ghoddousi has repeatedly brought up issues against the foreign minister, and he recently published Zarif’s confidential talks with parliament members in the media.
Now, Ghoddousi has claimed that Zarif has written a letter to US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. In response to this claim, Iran’s Foreign Ministry released a statement Feb. 28: “The wrong, baseless and again new claim of Javad Karimi Ghoddousi that the foreign minister of our country has had correspondence with the US secretary of state is strongly rejected.”
