Mohammad Javad Zarif, a key reformist figure in Iran, resigned amid pressures from conservative factions following the impeachment of the economy minister. His departure, likely endorsed by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, signals intensified conflict between reformists and hardliners within the government. Zarif's criticism, particularly regarding his American connections, adds layers to the political turmoil. The Iranian stock market suffered in response to these events, mirroring concerns about the future of economic and diplomatic reforms under President Pezeshkian, as conservative forces oppose the push for better ties with the West.
Zarif's departure, a significant blow to President Pezeshkian’s administration, follows increasing pressure from conservative factions criticizing the government's economic performance.
The continued decline of Iran's currency prompted conservative factions to demand changes in leadership, as Zarif's resignation signals growing tensions between reformists and hardliners.
Zarif's resignation may reflect an endorsement from Supreme Leader Khamenei, indicating a shift in the political landscape, especially given his previous criticism of sanctions.
With the stock market struggling post-resignation and calls for new leadership, Zarif's exit raises concerns over the future of Iran's economic and diplomatic reform efforts.
