A former Iranian foreign minister, who played a crucial role in the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, has reportedly submitted his resignation from the government of reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian. Mohammad Javad Zarif's resignation signifies a shift in Tehran's approach towards the West amid escalating sanctions imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Zarif, who served as vice president to Pezeshkian, has faced opposition from hard-liners within Iran's theocracy. This is not the first time Zarif has attempted to resign, and it remains uncertain whether Pezeshkian has accepted his resignation this time.
