Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated Sunday that he has not met Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and that only a limited number of people have met him, according to reports. The comment expands on his earlier denial, as The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, that he has not met Khamenei since his appointment.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated Sunday that he has not met Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei 'in this period' and claimed that only a select few individuals have met him, according to a report on the source. The remarks add a new element to his earlier denial, reported earlier Sunday by The Zioneer citing Amichai Stein (i24NEWS), in which Araghchi said he had not met Khamenei since the latter's appointment as Supreme Leader. The new statement suggests limited access to the Supreme Leader, though it does not elaborate on the reasons. The report has not been independently verified.
