Supreme Leader Khamenei: Iranian Outreach to U.S. Went Too Far
(Kayhan-Iran) Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has accepted responsibility for missteps during the visit of the Iranian delegation to the UN General Assembly. According to a report Tuesday in Keyhan, the chairman of the national security and foreign policy committee of the Majlis on Sunday asked Zarif about actions that the Supreme Leader had characterized as missteps. Zarif responded: "We (Zarif and Rouhani) thought that the talks (with Kerry) and the phone call (with Obama) were within the authority given to us, but it is our understanding that Hazrat Agha (Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei) has criticized us for Dr. Rouhani's phone conversation with Obama." "He regards that as the first misstep, and my long meeting with John Kerry...he regards...as the other misstep during our trip."
