TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's foreign minister has been told by the country's supreme leader to control his temper during nuclear talks with Western diplomats, Iranian media reported Saturday.
Mohammad Javad Zarif admitted that he has often raised his voice during meetings with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry - sometimes so much their bodyguards would enter the room to make sure everything was all right.
Zarif said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters in Iran, told him to speak softly and with a smile - the same as he would in public.
Zarif said in comments published in the Shargh daily newspaper Saturday that Khamenei made the recommandations during a private meeting earlier this week.
"The exalted Supreme Leader told me not to quarrel ... he asked: 'Why do you scream? Smile and speak your mind,'" the newspaper quoted Zarif as telling a group of Tehran high school students.

Last year the Iranians were bragging that Zarif was yelling at Kerry and disrespecting him in their media, now Khamenei telling him to tone down?
That's funny...John Kerry said the same thing about his orders from Obama.
I picture Zarif slapping Kerry in the face when it gets real heated. Lol.
John F’n (”I was in Vietnam”) Kerry getting walked all over by Muslim steaming turd.
Some negotiator... NOT!
