In the Q&A, published Nov. 9, Araghchi reiterated that the “insight” of the supreme leader led to Iran’s nuclear achievements.
Araghchi said the administration is simply the executive branch of the government, and that the nuclear file belongs to the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is led by Ayatollah Khamenei, and cannot be confined to one administration or another, even though the different administrations and negotiators have had different approaches.
