Kerry\u2019s statement also comes after the White House and State Department declined to comment on the allegations, saying that the Biden administration would not comment on leaked materials.<\/p>\n<p>The allegations against Kerry, who served as secretary of state under President Barack Obama, spring from a leaked recording of Iranian Foreign Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/leaked-audio-of-irans-foreign-minister-john-kerry-told-us-israel-behind-200-attacks\">Mohammad Javad Zarif<\/a>. In the recording, Zarif said that he heard from Kerry that Israel was behind more than 200 attacks on Iranian interests in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to comment on leaked tapes,\u201d White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Monday when asked about the Zarif tape.<\/p>\n<p>State Department spokesman Ned Price made a similar statement in response to a question over Kerry\u2019s alleged conversations with Zarif.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is purportedly leaked material, can\u2019t speak to the authenticity, can\u2019t speak to the accuracy of it, can\u2019t speak to any motives that may be behind its dissemination,\u201d Price said. \u201cI would just make the broad point that if you go back and look at press reporting from the time, this certainly was not secret and governments that were involved were speaking to this publicly on the record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Kerry said that he had spoken with Zarif multiple times since leaving office in January 2017, ostensibly over the Iran nuclear deal that the Trump administration had set about pulling out of. Kerry told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/hughhewitt.com\/former-secretary-of-state-john-kerry-on-his-new-memoir-every-day-is-extra\/\">transcript<\/a> of the September 12, 2018, show:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"36\">\n<p><em>HH: Let\u2019s move to Iran. Every Day Is Extra is full of detail about the JCPOA. And if I\u2019m correct, did you spend more time talking in person or on the phone with Javad Zarif than any other foreign minister? Maybe Lavrov, but was he your number one interlocutor?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>JH: I\u2019m not sure. I never did a tally of the numbers, but I spent a lot of time with my European colleagues also at NATO in many other meetings. We spent a lot of time on Syria in the international Syria support group with our other colleagues. I mean, certainly Javad was up there. But I spent a lot of time with France, Germany, Britain, China, Russia. Those were the principal interlocutors, and I\u2019ve never divided it up.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>HH: Okay, it\u2019s been reported you\u2019ve met with him a couple of times at least since leaving office as well.
