wait ... do you think they have Kerry and the iranian diplomat on tape?

If you did .. they dont. Kerry isnt recorded on any tape.

Its 1 iranian official saying it happened.

ive spent way too much effort on this ....

Lol...no they don’t have Kerry on tape. Hopefully he would be arrested by now. Or on the lam on his private jet.

It’s an interview with an Iranian media group based in England with a known reporter (my understanding that’s how it’s confirmed) and it’s not a rando, it’s the top Iranian foreign minister.

So when you say it’s one person...well it’s confirmed it’s the top person in the government. On the tape, he (top foreign minister) specifically says that’s “off the record” about certain pieces of information.

The New York Times reviewed the audio and printed the story off it and confirmed with the reporter with the agency.
