Iranian Foreign Minister: Supreme Leader is alive

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, is alive as far as I know, in an interview with NBC following the US and Israeli attacks.

“Almost all the officials are safe and sound and alive,” Araghchi said, speaking live from Tehran to the broadcaster. “We may have lost one or two commanders, but this is not a big problem.”

It is still not known who was killed in the attacks on Iran. Israeli sources told CNN that there was optimism about them, but there was no confirmation that Khamenei was killed.

Araghchi said he had spoken to "colleagues" in the Persian Gulf to tell them that Iran had no intention of attacking them, but was targeting US bases as an act of self-defense.

Araghchi criticized the US for engaging in negotiations with Iran and then launching an attack. The United States and Iran concluded a third round of talks in Geneva on Thursday.

The foreign minister said Iran was interested in reducing tensions. “There is no communication right now, but if America wants to talk to us, they know how to contact me.”/ CNA
