Iranian President not accepted Zarif resignation: Iran FM Spox

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - In a Tuesday statement, Foreign Ministry SpokesmanBahram Qassemi cited Iranian President’s chief of staff Mahmoud Vaezi's message that the resignation of Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’ has not been accepted.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman said any interpretation or analysis revolving around the reasons behind Zarif’s resignation are incorrect and devoid of reality except for what written by the top diplomat in his Instagram account.

The spokesman then rejected as baseless reports by certain media outlets on possible mass resignation of a number of foreign ministry directors and ambassadors.

“As Mr Zarif said, the Foreign Ministry and all its directors and ambassadors will continue their sensitive jobs strongly and seriously to press ahead Iran’s foreign policy and meet our national interests as well as security needs,” he noted.

With all in his power and relying on his deep knowledge and long experience in diplomacy and international affairs, Mr Zarif has relentlessly attempted to promote the status of Iran’s foreign policy in bilateral, regional and international relations, Qassemi said.

It goes without saying that the wise and informed nation of Iran is well aware of his effective efforts and pay tribute to him, the spokesman added.

Reports of Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif's unexpected resignation filled media headlines on Monday night, and speculations about the resignation proliferated.
