Secretary of State Antony Blinken dismissed allegations that John Kerry revealed Israeli military secrets to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, rejecting a chorus of criticisms building in the wake of a leaked audio.

“These things were so secret that they were all reported in the press at the time,” Blinken told CNN’s Jake Tapper during a Tuesday interview. “So it is utter nonsense, and it’s really unfortunate that people continue to try and play politics with this.”
