Following accusation that he leaked information on Israeli operations in Syria while serving as Secretary of State in the Obama administration, US Special Climate Envoy John Kerry on Monday issued a statement denying the allegations.
I can tell you that this story and these allegations are unequivocally false. This never happened - either when I was Secretary of State or since. https://t.co/BTOdFE1khW

In a Twitter post, Kerry said "I can tell you that this story and these allegations are unequivocally false. This never happened - either when I was Secretary of State or since."
So, Zarif lied?

According to the New York Times, the Iranian official said he was surprised by the alleged admission. "Former Secretary of State John Kerry informed him that Israel had attacked Iranian interests in Syria at least 200 times, to his astonishment, Mr. Zarif said."
This is disgusting on many levels. Biden and Kerry have to answer for why Kerry would be tipping off Iran, the number one sponsor of terror, while stabbing one of our greatest partners, Israel, in the back. https://t.co/ZLWnQRZkrG

In response to the allegations, many called for Kerry’s resignation from the Biden administration. Former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley tweeted "This is disgusting on many levels. Biden and Kerry have to answer for why Kerry would be tipping off Iran, the number one sponsor of terror, while stabbing one of our greatest partners, Israel, in the back."
This is a criminal act and John Kerry must be immediately investigated and PROSECUTED.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) told Fox News, "This is something that deserves a Senate investigation. If it indeed is proven to be accurate, then John Kerry should seriously consider resignation."
