Zarif: Footage of captured sailors should not have been seen
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRegarding the capture of US sailors in Iran earlier this month, Zarif defends the actions of his army in arresting the service members, but says pictures of the arrest were leaked to the press and “may have been better left in the archives.”
Pictures and videos of the soldiers showed them being arrested at gunpoint and a video showed one teary-eyed sailor apologizing.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, who brokered a deal to get them released with Zarif, as well as a later prisoner swap, said the footage made him “angry.”
