Iran's Vice President Zarif Resigns Amid Political Turmoil

Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s Vice President for Strategic Affairs and former foreign minister, has resigned amid growing political tensions in Tehran. His departure follows the dismissal of the country’s economy minister, signaling internal struggles within the government. Zarif, a key figure in Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal negotiations, faced increasing opposition from hardliners. Reports suggest his resignation was influenced by pressure from Iran’s judiciary chief. The move highlights ongoing political and economic instability in Iran as the government grapples with internal divisions and external pressures.
