An exclusive interview on RT’s Sanchez Effect.
Kazem 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
