Analysts see impact on Teheran of US withdrawal from 2015 nuclear deal
The resignation of Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif surprised the international community, but may not affect Teheran's determination to stick to a landmark 2015 nuclear deal, analysts said.
Zarif unexpectedly announced his departure on Monday through one of his verified social media platforms. He apologized for his inability to continue serving and for his shortcomings during his term in office but offered no explanation for his decision.
