Iran's foreign minister and lead negotiator in nuclear talks with the United States has been ordered by the Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader to stop shouting and yelling at Secretary of State John Kerry during negotiating sessions.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif told his country's state controlled media in a recent interview that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has instructed him to stop yelling at Kerry and other top U.S. officials during the talks.
Reports about Zarif's temper first emerged in the Iranian press last November, when the United States and Iran agreed to extend talks through June of this year.
Zarif is said to "frequently shout at Western diplomats" with such force that bodyguards have been forced to enter the negotiation room.
During one incident described by Iranian officials to the press, European Union Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton, a chief western negotiator, admitted that Zarif had been shouting, and she had gotten used to it.

I'm surprised he's not laughing, though I'm sure he is, along with the rest of them, after Kerry leaves.
Some body needs to try to make him understand just how really stupid he is - even if the only way is to keep yelling it over and over.
It says " state controlled media" in this post , are we not the same?
Maybe Mr. heinz ketchup will get his gig back as Lurch on the Addams Family so we can all enjoy his real talent.
