An exclusive interview on RT’s Sanchez Effect.

Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister for legal and international
affairs, joins us from Tehran under the missile barrage – with the
sound of drones audible throughout the conversation. He describes the
assassination of the Supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as a
“heinous crime.” He said it’s not just a tragedy for Iran, but
also for millions of Muslims around the world – which will trigger
incidents similar to the shooting that took place in a Texas bar where a
gunman killed at least two and wounded 14. Gharibabadi mocks the
Israeli and US pretexts for the attack. For decades, they claimed that
Iran was about to obtain a nuclear bomb, which the deputy foreign
minister dismissed as “Netanyahu’s fantasies,” as Iran has only
sought a peaceful nuclear program. He also rejects the notion Iran is a
threat to the US, adding that it never threatened US assets in the
region, but was itself surrounded by US military assets
