The Times buried the lede in its story, waiting until the 22nd paragraph before dropping the real bombshell, which consisted of Zarif claiming it was Kerry who had informed him of Israeli attacks on Iranian targets: "It was former U.S. Foreign Secretary [sic] John Kerry who told me Israel had launched more than 200 attacks on Iranian forces in Syria." Zarif didn't specify whether Kerry said this while he was secretary of state or afterward, during meetings in which the man currently serving as Joe Biden's climate czar sought to advise the Iranians on how to thwart Trump administration efforts to force them to renegotiate the nuclear pact.
While Kerry has always upheld Zarif as a reliable negotiating partner, Zarif is a serial liar.
If we are ready to give Kerry a pass because of Zarif's mendacity, then the rationale for the current negotiations and the nuclear pact is debunked.
In 2018, the Boston Globe reported Kerry consulted with Zarif and advised his former negotiating partner not to talk with the Trump administration.
Kerry told Zarif to simply wait out Trump and then deal with a more pliant Democrat he hoped would be elected in 2020.
Abandoning Israel The only description for Kerry's involvement with Iran is "Collusion." But unlike the three-year effort to hobble the Trump administration carried out by Democrats and their media allies over what ultimately proved to be a false accusation, Kerry's actions have never been a secret.
No matter what Kerry told Zarif, the Israelis should be in no doubt about the fact that the United States is abandoning them on Iran.
