Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi just made a solemn promise after a series of U.S. and Israeli strikes that have rocked the region. Per The Hill, he stated, “We are defending ourselves whatever it takes, and we see no limit for ourselves to defend our people, to protect our people.”
The joint strikes have thus far resulted in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, alongside several other significant political and military figures in Tehran. With Khamenei gone, an interim leadership council has stepped up to run the country. This council includes Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Guardian Council jurist member Ayatollah Alireza Arafi, and the head of the Iranian judiciary, Gholam Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i.
