Iranian Foreign Minister Regrets Ceasefire Delay, Cites Loss of Larijani and Infrastructure

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that had a ceasefire been reached ten days earlier, Iran would have preserved its achievements while keeping Ali Larijani alive and avoiding damage to Asaluyeh petrochemical facilities and steel plants. The statement appears to acknowledge the impact of Israeli strikes in the final days before the ceasefire, implicitly admitting significant losses from the attacks.
