MNA � Criticizing some media for misreporting of Zarif's resignation, FM spokesman Bahram Ghasemi said that President Hassan Rouhani has rejected the resignation.







A day after the Iranian top diplomat in an unexpected move announced his resignation from his five-year post on Instagram, Bahram Ghasemi, the Spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that the interpretation and analyzing Zarif�s message on Instagram was unfortunately �incomplete, flawed and manipulated.�

Ghasemi condemned politically motivated reporting of some media of Zarif�s announcement on his Instagram, saying that foreign minister Zarif has always sought�a credible and powerful Foreign Ministry since he took office five years ago and he never sought to prefer his personal interests over the country�s.

The spokesman went on to criticize misinterpreting and giving an inaccurate acount of Zarif's post on instagram�as unfair and politically motivated.
