The raids took place after government spokesman Ali Rabiei had stated that Iran’s intelligence ministry was investigating the source of a recently-leaked interview with Zarif.
The IRGC Intelligence Unit is a rival organisation to the Ministry of Intelligence, which is the country’s equivalent of the CIA and the FBI.
In the recorded interview, which was leaked to Iran International last weekend, Zarif had told journalist and economist Saeed Leylaz that he believed Iranian diplomacy had been "sacrificed" to the regime's military interests.
He described alleged efforts by former IRGC Quds Force commander Ghasem Soleimani and Russia to sabotage the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and shared new details about the Quds Force's regional operations.
The leak sparked widespread controversy, with various parties calling for Zarif's resignation or impeachment. Zarif has been touring Arab countries since the tape surfaced and was in Kuwait on Thursday.

Which ones are the good guys?
Neither are the good guys. In Iran you have bad guys and the worse guys.
None of them
I saw the headline and thought this was America. But then I realized AOC and the rest of the revolutionary guards wouldn’t bother resident Biden at this late hour.
Which side in this “civil” war will president rutabaga and the prostitute support?
Thanks.
Okay, thanks.
This appears to have all of the right names to be related to the leak that Lurch tipped off the Iranians about Israeli actions, but no mention is made.
Funny, but whenever something like this goes down you always think “oh fun, the rats are eating each other.”
But at the end it’s always the meanest and biggest rat that wins.
Someone outed their spy, John F’n Kerry. He was their #1 Agent, and they are pissed.
Agreed. This appears to be the key portion:
“Zarif had told journalist and economist Saeed Leylaz that he believed Iranian diplomacy had been “sacrificed” to the regime’s military interests.
He described alleged efforts by former IRGC Quds Force commander Ghasem Soleimani and Russia to sabotage the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and shared new details about the Quds Force’s regional operations”
We now know Lurch is in bed with Zarif, not a huge leap to suspect Lurch traded info with him. Lurch told Zarif what the Israelis are up to, Zarif told Lurch what Quds Force and the Russians are up to. Quds Force needs to have a scalp to show the Russians, hence the office raid. Zarif is in Kuwait, so watch to see if he goes back home or didimaos to London with an asylum bid in exchange for spilling his guts to MI6 (read: CIA junior varsity). Probably depends on where his family is.
Yup,I think this has much to do about the treasonous pr*ck John f-ing Kerry.
Bkmrk
Was John Carry caught, or was he with the ‘good’ guys?
IRGC has to protect their ally — John Kerry.
