Attempted Assassination of Abbas Araghchi Foiled
Iranian media claims that a plot to assassinate Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Europe was foiled. Israel is alleged to have orchestrated the assassination attempt. Iranian security agencies thwarted Israel’s plan. Ministerial advisor Mohammad Hossein Ranjbaran stated that if it weren’t for the vigilance of the nation’s unknown soldiers, this heinous Israeli plot would have harmed Tehran a few days ago, but thankfully, it failed.
