John Kerry engaging in shadow diplomacy to salvage Iran deal: The Boston Globe

[spanone]

Washington (CNN)Former Secretary of State John Kerry has been engaging in shadow diplomacy to try to preserve the Iran nuclear deal, a major diplomatic achievement of his, according to a new report.

Over recent months, Kerry has been holding meetings and speaking with big players in the Iran nuclear agreement, who, like Kerry, do not want President Donald Trump to withdraw the US from the deal, The Boston Globe reported.

Citing a person briefed on the meetings, the Globe reported that Kerry had met with Iran Foreign Minister Javad Zarif at the United Nations in New York two weeks ago, their second meeting in about two months, to discuss ways of keeping the deal limiting Iran's nuclear weapons program intact.

The former secretary of state also met last month with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, separately sat down with French President Emmanuel Macron in both Paris and New York, and spoke on the phone with European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, the source told the Globe.

1. As soon as 45 finds out he will pull out of the Iran deal to spite Kerry.

2. Sounds like his temperament...a spiteful man for sure.

3. That's exactly what I thought. Wish they hadn't published that story.

5. This makes very little sense as written.

There has to be a lot more to it than this.

Just this week Kerry to on a pretty big role with a company. A lot more than just bringing him on in name only.

Very little of this is ok as written.
