Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s newly appointed Vice President, has resigned from his post, citing dissatisfaction with his work and a failure to meet expectations.

The resignation comes just 10 days after President Masoud Pezeshkian’s Cabinet was formed.

Zarif, a moderate politician and former Foreign Minister, attributed his decision to the selection process for the Cabinet. He expressed disappointment that at least seven of the 19 nominated ministers were not his preferred choices.

He also highlighted the pressure he faced due to his children’s US citizenship and his inability to fully implement his vision for the Cabinet, which included greater representation of women, youth, and ethnic groups.

Zarif’s resignation marks the second crisis for President Pezeshkian since taking office, following the recent assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

During Pezeshkian’s presidential campaign, Zarif was a key figure, playing a significant role in his victory.

His departure is a major setback for the new administration, particularly given his popularity and experience.

Zarif has stated that he intends to return to academia and focus on research, stepping back from Iranian domestic politics.
