🇮🇷 Analysis: Zarif's sudden offer to resign rattles Iran | Al Jazeera English
Foreign Minister Javad Zarif's sudden offer to step down has shocked Iran's political establishment and people, with many expressing worry the move could derail efforts to save a landmark nuclear pact.
Zarif announced late on Monday he would resign amid quarrels over Iran's foreign policy as well as a global struggle to preserve the 2015 nuclear deal, in which Tehran agreed to curb its nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief.
Fighting between parties and factions in Iran is a "deadly poison" to formulating foreign policy, Zarif said in an interview published by the Jomhuri Eslami newspaper on Tuesday, suggesting he may have resigned over pressure from hardline elements opposed to his role in negotiating the nuclear deal.
