Iran foreign minister details strike that killed Khamenei

Iran’s foreign minister has described new details about the strike that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, offering a rare account of how the joint U.S.Israeli operation was carried out. According to the article, Abbas Araghchi said on television that he survived because he was in a different wing of the compound when the attack hit. Counterterrorism experts quoted in the story said his account suggests the strike was aimed with precision at a specific section of the site rather than the entire building. The article also says analysts see the attack as part of a broader U.S. strategy: to target hostile leaders with precision while leaving room for an exit from the conflict. It reports that after Khamenei’s death, his son Mojtaba Khamenei became Iran’s new supreme leader.
