After Iran and the six world powers announced a framework that would drastically reduce Iran’s nuclear program, negotiators arrived home from the marathon talks in Lausanne, Switzerland, and immediately began selling the deal to their domestic critics. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif gave a two-hour interview with state TV to defend the deal. The stiffest opposition so far has come from parliament.
According to a number of Iranian websites, Zarif’s address to parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee about the nuclear talks and the framework deal turned into an “unprecedented” argument between Zarif and conservative parliament member Javad Karimi-Ghodousi.
