Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Zarif called the assertion made by Mahmoud Nabavian 'shameful' and urged him to offcially apologize for his claim.
Zarif said if Nabavian does not apologize, he will sue him for his statement.
In an extremely surprising assertion, the Iranian hard-line politician Nabavian has recently said that Zarif has agreed to hand over the commander of Quds Forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major-General Qasem Soleimani to the US.
