#2 Javad Zarif is an alumni of San Francisco State University. His BA was in 1980 and MA in 1981.

He served with the Iran delegation to the UN beginning the next year and continued academic study with a PhD in 1988 from the U of Denver.

The Mullahs consider him impure by virtue of his long association with infidels but useful in dealing with tools like Obama, Hillary, Kerry and Biden and underlings like Susan Rice and ValJar.

But there is no way will the Mullahs allow Zarif to run for President.

#3 Interesting story. I didn't think at the time there would be much more than crocodile tears for the late 'Gen" coming from any quarter.

As to the other emerging details, well Zarif and Kerry are both notorious, serial liars. And after all, who would believe a US senator would side with the enemy? Then again American socialists just may simply define 'enemy' somewhat differently.

#4 "Thelongstanding friendship and closeness of Mohammad Javad Zarif with martyr ... Soleimani is not hidden to anyone," he wrote.

"They were ~~lovers~~ very close"

#5 What's with the sudden uptick in leaked Iranian audio tapes, just the usual backstabbing or something else?
