Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview that Iran cannot be pressured through threats or incentives, claiming the country has shown that the United States and Israel are not “superpowers” and are not invincible.
Araghchi said Iran resisted demands to end its nuclear enrichment program and accused its adversaries of turning to war after failing to achieve their goals through negotiations.
He claimed Iran remained standing after the 12 day war, saying the government did not collapse and that the public supported the system.
Araghchi also said the strike that killed former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was made possible by a security breach inside Iran that has still not been resolved.
