As said, Zarif wont run for presidency. So it was not a stunt to make him "popular" among liberal masses.

Please show me at which point in the interview he said that.

I for one just saw Zarifs haq taken. I doubt he will become candidate and I would not vote for him, I'm too militaristic for Zarifs diplomatic approach. Hence, ya haq!

Look how Dr. Marandi talks about Zarif: Good to see such honesty

This is the independent IRGC "lower-end" upgrade, not Karrar.

Supreme leaders speech made me listen again to the full Zarif interview. I still didn't find something negative about Gen. Soleymani. He is just a very accurately speaking person. So less accurate people may mistaken on his wording and get emotional.

I'm honestly interested in some 2-3 accurate specific claims Zarif made which you think are lies and treason. How can Gen. Soleymani be a moron if Zarif thinks his worth is equal to a whole city for Iran?

Which of Zarifs answers in that 3 hours interview was specifically bad or treason? Give me a few examples please. I myself am more hardline and militaristic, hence Zarifs approach is sometimes too mild for me. But there is a huge difference between that and treason.

It rather looks like Rohani/Jahangiri planned to publish it in order to destroy Zarifs reputation. That dirty Leylaz interviewer tried to lure Zarif several times into traps, but Zarif was smart enough to fend it off: 1: Russian basing is against constitution 2: Why champaign of Shah era was...

The liberal Rohani administration has given this subhuman Leylaz the job to interview every important member of the admin for historical reasons. Such secret interviews have tradition in Iran, remember without such interviews we would have nothing on Shahid Tehrani Moghaddam, who was unknown...

Glad to see one of the bright minds of the Iranian section giving this correct assessment. That Saeed Leylaz interviewer and deputy of Iran Khodro Diesel should be executed.

Again on Zarif He might have spend most of his life in the U.S and is not a military expert either. So his view on U.S military superiority or Israels 200 strikes on "Iranian targets" can be excused, because it is indeed a miracle that a 700 billion military can be deterred by a 20 billion...

@SalarHaqq A deep analysis with valid points. Since I don't concentrate on individuals, I make it short: Some people view the glass always as half empty and take things at their worst case. Some people do the opposite. Some people are narcissists, view themselves as highly exceptional and...

@SalarHaqq TheImmortal has come a long way. I remember that early on he was so anti-Iran or at least anti-IR on this forum, that I basically ignored him. Instead of arguing with him, he slowly saw the news about Irans military and other things and changed his totally-anti-Iran stance. I don't...

Guys compared to other reformist, Zarif is honest. When that dirty interviewer said that the refueling of Russian bomber in Iran was against the constitution, Zarif was accurate and clean enough to counter that. He said a true point for which I will use an example: You run two businesses and...

As expected after the full interview, Zarif said nothing fundamentally wrong or liberal. He is just a pro diplomacy man, and that's his job. He still is the most clean person in the Rohani admin and a highly capable diplomat. But the interviewer is a typical dirty, corrupt, fake-revolutionary...

I agree that reliability could be an issue, due to mistakes and unknowns during re-engineering, unknown problems could significantly reduce reliability. But that would be from the design side, on materials I don't see a serious problem due to MAPNA. Its a great relief if you have a materials...

You said it on your own: Tay, a 60's design, needed 500 different alloys. MAPNA to build the early 80's AL-31 has sufficient level of material engineering. It used DS for the 1st stage turbine as far as I know, not blisks or fancy stuff either. So AL-31 is within reach at the materials front...

Material wise Iran is capable to do it, see MAPNA turbines. Materials is half of the story. Design wise I agree, a complete re-design is necessary which is extremely difficult.

Note the title: Have been saying this for years, good to see Russia agreeing on it.
