Iran's Deputy President for Strategic Affairs, Javad Zarif, announced his resignation on Monday after a prolonged legal dispute over his appointment.
In a post on X, the former foreign minister said he had worked with dedication in President Masoud Pezeshkian's government but faced "vile insults, slanders, and threats" over the past six months. Calling it the "most bitter" period of his 40-year career, he cited controversy over his appointment, as critics argued it violated the Constitution due to his US-born children.
Zarif, who played a key role in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, said he had long endured accusations while serving national interests. Invited by the judiciary chief, he was advised to return to academia to ease pressure on the government.
"I hope that with my departure, obstacles to the people's will and the government's success will be removed," Zarif said.
Under heavy pressure from conservative circles, Zarif had previously dismissed speculation about his resignation. The president’s office has not commented yet, but sources suggest the resignation will be accepted.
