Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday said that supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is still alive “as far as I know,” in an interview with NBC News.
“Almost all officials are safe and sound and alive. We may have lost one or two commanders, but that is not a big problem,” he said.
When asked about US President Donald Trump's pre-recorded remarks after the attacks, Araghchi labeled efforts of regime change as "Mission Impossible."
"You cannot do regime change while millions of people are supporting this so-called regime," he said, adding that Tehran is "certainly interested for de-escalation."
"Well, there is no communication right now. But if Americans want to talk to us, they know how."
