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.
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.
