Zarif's Behind the Scenes

Sasan Karimi, Political and International Deputy of the Strategic Vice-Presidency:

Trends within the government could have facilitated Mr. Zarif's work. But this was not the case. If we do not call it obstruction, it even seemed that there were some shortcomings in the government that caused them to complain about the lack of support against the sensitive jobs law. The formation of a new deputy required more support from the president and the government, which unfortunately was not done

Unfortunately, the bill to amend the Sensitive Professions Law was not drafted as it was based, and the orders that had been issued to remove forced citizenship from this law were not carried out, and the friends sought to solve their problem in drafting the bill, and for this reason, the bill was withdrawn from the parliament because all self-acquisitions and... which was the goal of the law, were also included in these amendments. In fact, they made Mr. Zarif's presence the cost of solving their own problem

Mr. Ejei, the Head of the Judiciary, invited him and gave him an explanation about the referral of the case by the Parliament to the Court of Administrative Justice, which gave Mr. Zarif the impression that he had been discarded, and he actually agreed to this. Therefore, this does not mean 'resignation.'" Mr. Zarif did not come to the strategic vice presidency since then and returned to the university

Mr. Pezeshkian initially disagreed with Mr. Zarif's perception and did not agree with Mr. Ejei's opinion. As far as I have heard, he has asked for Zarif to return, but the internal conditions of the government and the attacks on Mr. Zarif from outside the government over the past six or seven months have challenged the conditions for supporting him. In addition, Mr. Pezeshkian has not taken a public position in the past 72 hours, and I personally have the impression that he does not support Zarif.
