The Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has confirmed his continued discussions and meetings with top Iranian officials, including his former counterpart, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. The former Obama Administration official has reportedly provided advice to the Iranian government to counter the policies of the United States. The revelation prompted President Donald Trump to release a statement on his twitter account, in which he slammed Kerry for meeting with officials of a “very hostile Iranian regime” after he left his post at the Secretary of State, calling his actions illegal. Furthermore, U.S. State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert stated that “He (Kerry) is apparently providing, according to reports, advice to the Iranian Government. I think probably the best advice that he should be giving the Iranian Government is stop supporting terror groups around the world, stop supporting Hezballah. / If anything, we should – he should be calling on the Iranian Government to stop spending money on all this adventurism and terrorism around the world and start spending their money on their own people, as we have seen so many Iranian people express their serious concerns about this kind of military adventurism.” In contrast to the Obama Administration, Nauert stressed that the Trump administration no longer looks at the Iranian Government just through the narrow scope of the nuclear agreement, but rather deals with the Islamic Republic on all of its bad actions around the world in fomenting terror and causing so much misery, including in their own country. Meanwhile, a senior American official told TV7 that Kerry’s actions may constitute treason, as the former Secretary of State clearly and openly provided an enemy state with aid and comfort – which provide legal grounds for his conviction, based on article three of the U.S. constitution.
