WASHINGTON — The bombshell leak of an audio recording with Iran's foreign minister has exposed bitter internal divisions in Iran, threatening to complicate delicate negotiations between Tehran and the United States to revive the 2015 nuclear agreement.
The leaked interview, in which Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif complains about being undercut by Iran's hard-line Revolutionary Guard Corps, has set off a firestorm and dominated news coverage this week in Iran.

The leak has inflamed a debate raging in Iran over the nuclear deal as rival factions prepare for a presidential election in June. And it has also had ripple effects in Washington, where Republican opponents of nuclear diplomacy with Iran have seized on Zarif's account of his conversations with former Secretary of State John Kerry.
The intense infighting in Iran could be a wild card in the nuclear talks underway in Vienna between Iran and world powers, and it is not clear whether Iranian negotiators will have enough political breathing room to hammer out a deal with elections approaching June 18.
Unlike the previous negotiations that led to the 2015 deal between Iran and world powers, the pre-election machinations mean Zarif and President Hassan Rouhani have far less political space to maneuver this time around, said Ilan Goldenberg, senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security think tank.
"The political competition around the Iranian elections is starting to make it really hard to get this deal done," said Goldenberg, who was a senior official handling Middle East policy in the Obama administration. "That's the thing that could kill these negotiations."
