Iranian Foreign Minister denies internal rifts, says leadership united on policy

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected claims of divisions within Iran's leadership, stating there is consensus among the government, parliament, Supreme National Security Council, and armed forces. "I can tell you, as someone who attends private meetings, that there is a consensus among all of us," he said. Araghchi accused Washington of misreading Iran and making mistaken assumptions about divisions between individuals. He confirmed that Dr. Ghalibaf remains Iran's chief negotiator, with full support from Mohsen Rezaei.
