Iranian vice president resigns after 11 days in office
Iran’s Vice-President Mohammed Javad Zarif has resign, leaving President Massud Pezeshkian’s cabinet just 11 days after his appointment.
“I am not satisfied with my work and regret that I have not been able to fulfill expectations,” the moderate politician said on his X platform.
Zarif hinted that the selection of ministers for Pezeshkian ‘s new cabinet had been the reason for his decision.
According to Zarif, at least seven of the 19 ministers nominated were not his first choice.
Zarif’s withdrawal is the second crisis for Pezeshkian since he took office at the end of July, following the killing of the Palestinian militant Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
Zarif was Pezeshkian’s right-hand man during his presidential election campaign and, due to his popularity, also played a key role in Pezeshkian ‘s victory.
