Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, recounts surviving an airstrike that killed the country’s supreme leader, describing how he was pulled from rubble and later escaped by car through Tehran’s chaos. He confirms U.S. and Israeli intelligence pinpointed leadership locations, enabling the strikes. Though he hasn’t met the new leader, Mojtaba, Araghchi says Iran’s core policies remain unchanged. He admits skepticism about U.S. talks but insists diplomacy was necessary. Amid severed communications and destroyed infrastructure, Iran activated contingency plans — including closing the Strait of Hormuz — and warned regional allies of retaliation. Araghchi also hints at Iran’s strategy to stir friction between the U.S. and Israel.
