The Iranian news agency, Fars, which is close to the Revolutionary Guards, responded to the recent statements of Iranian Foreign Minister Muhammad Javad Zarif through a number of articles.
In one of these articles, the agency said, “It was not hidden from one of the positions and Zarif’s differences with the general orientation of the Iranian revolution, and of course it became clearer with this audio leak.”
He wrote the agency “Knight” in this article that “Zarif in this infusion through the face champion field, ie , Qassem Soleimani, reached the limits of political destruction”,
and added that “thieves and publishers of this audio file sought behind the first two goals to blame the field, ie the role of the Guard “In the event of the failure of the nuclear agreement negotiations, the second is to show that the presidency of the republic has no role in running the country, and that the problems cannot be solved by changing the president.”
The agency said that the ultimate goal of the leak is “to dissuade citizens from voting in elections.”
In turn, the “Tasnim” news agency, which is affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, wrote that according to Zarif’s assertion repeatedly in the interview, this conversation was not supposed to be published at the present time, or at least he was told so. But the question is, how was such an interview of such importance and content that could disturb the political atmosphere in the country was leaked?
Is Mr. Hussam Eddin Ashna, one of the security figures in Hassan Rouhani’s government, not aware of the importance of this audio file and ignoring its protection, or is the leakage of this file unofficially planned to affect the upcoming presidential elections?
It is noteworthy that the Center for Strategic Studies that conducted the meeting is managed by Hosam Eddin Ashna, the advisor to the Iranian President.
And Jamal Arf, head of the electoral commission in Iran, said earlier today that the government and the Ministry of Interior have no plans to postpone the presidential elections, stressing that they will take place on June 18th.
