Muhammad Javad Zarif, the most prominent reformist in Iran, resigned from the government, saying that he was directed to do so by a major official official.
I guaranteed that this step was approved by the Supreme Leader, Ali Khounai, although he did not call him in his resignation speech as he stepped down from the Vice President for Strategic Affairs.
His departure, a hammer blow to President Masoud Pizichane’s relatively new government, is the dismissal of the Minister of Economy, Abdanasser Hemati, as the Iranian conservatives continue to attack using the continuous decline in the national currency as a reason to demand a changing path.
The dual removal operations prompted the Iranian stock market to other ships, where Iranian companies felt that the political path to reopen the trade with the West was quickly closed by conservatives who had never reconciled with the victory of Pezeshkian.
Donald Trump’s decision to try to restore the maximum economic sanctions against Tehran has undermined these Iranian reformists who seek to reach a new global agreement covering the supervision of its nuclear program.
Zarif-who had previously resigned, in August, faced a long time to return to the government after continuous criticism of his children born in the United States who are alleged to be dual Iranian citizens.
His critics, and many opponents of talks with the United States on its nuclear program, have claimed that his appointment to the year 2022, which suffers from relations with the West from the West, has been subjected to high positions.
The nationality of his children, which dates back to his session as a diplomat based in the United States, was one of the reasons why the vice president had previously tried to step down after joining the PEZSHKIAN administration in August 2024.
Zarif, who was the best diplomat in Iran between 2013 and 2021 in the government of moderate President Hassan Rohani, carried out a campaign alongside Pezeshkian for the presidency on a semi -detailed ticket. Zarif was a stunning penis for criticizing the reform government led by those who lost the presidential elections.
At that time, the minister became known on the international stage during the long negotiations of the 2015 nuclear agreement known as the formal comprehensive work plan. The agreement led to the lifting of Western sanctions against independent inspections led by the United Nations to ensure the use of the Iranian nuclear program for civil use.
The deal was emptied after three years when, during the first period of Trump as president, the United States withdrew from the deal Re -imposing broken sanctions on Iran.
However, in his resignation note, Zarif guaranteed his recent departure from the government was not voluntary. A high -ranking official was said to have ordered Zichakian to return him to the university. Pezeshkian refused, instead asked the official to transfer the instructions directly to Zarif.
After a meeting with the relevant official, Vice President for Strategic Affairs reluctantly agreed to submit his resignation.
Zarif was always seen as the most obvious to the Iranian foreign policy of Western masses. A professional diplomat, repeatedly called for granting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a clearer authority on international relations, and does not contradict the independent foreign policy led by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Earlier on Saturday, the Iranian parliament voted by 182 votes of Himati’s refusal, who was formerly the governor of the Iranian Central Bank. He was in office for only six months and 12 days, and he is the fastest isolation in the history of the Iranian revolution dating back to 1979.
Although Pezeshkian was in Parliament in a solidarity offer, Hemati failed to formulate a vote without confidence and was rejected by his position. It is dominated by the Iranian parliament by the elected militants mainly in 2024, and has never reconciled to the sudden election of Pezeshkian for the presidency later in the summer.

Baziskian, who is strongly aware that his government has been undermined by non -elected officials in society, and has constantly emphasized the need for consensus – but the events of the past 48 hours indicate that he failed.
He explained his resignation, Zarif did not specify the person who met him, saying instead: “Yesterday, I went to meet him at the invitation of the president of the judiciary. In reference to the conditions of the country, he recommended that I return to the university to prevent further pressure on the government, and I accepted immediately.”
The resignation did not bring any relief to the Iranian stock market, which fell more in red.
Zarif expressed his dissatisfaction with his treatment. He said: “Although I faced the most funny insults, deformities and threats against myself and my family in the past six months, and even within the government, I spent 40 years of service, I have persevered in the hope of service.
“I would not have been and not to escape the difficulties and difficulties in the way of serving this land and the country, and in the past forty years or so, I had endured many insults and armed authorities because of the small role in which I played in the national interest, who ends from the Iranian war-and embraced nuclear havens.
He added: “I hope that by moving aside, excuses will be removed to block the will of people and the success of the government.”
Azzar Mansouri, president of the Reform Front, a alliance for the smaller parties, said that she does not know in any way to raise the economic problems of Iran without ending economic sanctions, and taking the necessary steps to remove them from the blacklist in the financial workplace (FATF), which is the body that oversees the blade of science in financial transactions.
Conservatives referred to Volodymyr Zelenskyy humiliation by Trump in the face of his last oval office As a warning to those in Iran who believe it is possible to negotiate with the American president.
Hemati opponents, led by the conservative front for the stability of the Islamic Revolution, admits that it is part of a broader campaign against the government, including Himati’s efforts. Repeat the connection of the Iranian economy to the West By removing Iran from the FATF blacklist.
“I think that the problems of the foreign currency market in the country will not be resolved by the abolition of the Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance. This is a fact. It is the government’s approach to reform, because according to a report issued by the Parliamentary Research Center, economic growth decreased by 1 % during the past six months.” He claimed that Hemmati’s position led to expectations Emmogen.
