Tehran, Iran:
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Wednesday he regretted that leaked audio of him saying the military had too strong a role in diplomacy turned into “domestic infighting”.
“I was very sorry that a secret theoretical talk regarding the need for synergy between diplomacy and the (military) field … turns into domestic infighting and the honest and passionate pathology of some processes is framed as personal criticism,” he wrote in an Instagram post on his verified account.
