Video: Hardliner threatens raid on ‘traitor’ Zarif’s home at Tehran rally

Saeed Haddadian, a famous religious vocalist with close ties to Iran's establishment, called ex-foreign minister Javad Zarif a “traitor” after his Foreign Affairs article urging an end to the war, and threatened to raid his home if he fails to retract his remarks within three days.

"Security officials! Are you waiting for Zarif to write on his forehead that he has sold himself to the United States?" Haddadian told a rally of Islamic Republic supporters in Tehran on Friday night.

"Mr. Zarif, you have no damn right to prescribe solutions for the Islamic Republic. You have no damn right to speak!"

"Even someone who is blind, deaf, and mute can understand that you are a traitor. In the middle of this proposal you call for improved relations between Iran and the US, an enemy that killed my leader and has shown such disrespect to Iran," Haddadian said.

"I give Zarif three days. If he does not say he screwed up, on the fourth night we will gather and go to (storm) his house."
