"We allow nobody to interfere in our domestic affairs. This is up to the Iranian people to elect their new leader. They have already elected the Assembly of Experts, and the Assembly of Experts will do the job. It is only the business of the Iranian people and nobody else's business."
"This is what [Trump] asked the previous time in June, when Israel started to attack us, President Trump used the same phrase, 'unconditional surrender.' That was the tweet he made. And that didn't happen. We resisted and after 12 days Israelis asked for unconditional ceasefire. So, we never give up, we never surrender, and we continue to resist as long as it takes."
"We are defending our territory, our people, and our dignity. And our dignity is not for sale."
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi firmly rejected President Trump's demand to participate in selecting Iran's next supreme leader during an NBC News interview. Araghchi stated that an Interim Council currently governs Iran, with the Assembly of Experts set to elect a new supreme leader soon. While reports suggested Mojtaba Khamenei would succeed his father, Araghchi declined to confirm speculation. He emphasized that Iran permits no foreign interference in domestic affairs and that only the Iranian people, through their elected Assembly of Experts, will determine leadership. Regarding Trump's call for unconditional surrender, Araghchi referenced previous Israeli-Iranian tensions, noting Iran resisted demands and ultimately secured a ceasefire, asserting Iran never surrenders and continues defending its territory and dignity.
