Leaked audiotape of Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif indicates he had no knowledge of covert Israeli military strikes before former secretary of state John Kerry provided him with the information, new details that contradict the State Department's recent defense of Kerry.

These details are likely to further fuel calls from leading Republicans for Kerry's firing or resignation. The New York Times reported that Zarif said on the tape that Kerry told him Israel launched 200 airstrikes against Iranian interests in Syria. The Times did not provide further details on that issue. But an independent translation of the audiotape commissioned by the Washington Free Beacon shows that Zarif went on to clarify that he had no prior knowledge of these Israeli strikes before Kerry told him.

"Kerry told me that Israel had launched 200 airstrikes against you [Iran]," said Zarif. "You didn't know?" asked his interviewer. "No, no," he replied.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), who is spearheading efforts to pressure Kerry into resigning, said, "If this tape is verified, it would signal catastrophic and disqualifying recklessness by Envoy Kerry to Foreign Minister Zarif that endangered the safety of Americans and our allies."

John Kerry is less qualified to manage a local restaurant chain than Harris is.

This is fricking treason. Kerry should face prison time, not just lose his job.

Problem is.... who is more trustworthy? Do Iranian officials lie? Yes. Is the US news media as bad? Yep. Does anyone trust any Democrat leader to be more forthcoming and trustworthy? If you do you are a fool.
