Iranian Foreign Minister Claims Earlier Ceasefire Could Have Saved Ali Larijani

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that if Iran had reached a ceasefire agreement ten days earlier, Ali Larijani would still be alive. He added that the country would have preserved the Esfahan petrochemical facilities and steel plants, which were damaged in Israeli attacks. Araghchi's remarks highlight the impact of the timing of diplomatic efforts on both human lives and critical industrial infrastructure in Iran.
