I believe it must be recorded in history that a person named Seyed Abbas Araghchi lacks the qualifications for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

in the Islamic Republic during wartime. When someone's analysis is so far from reality

that we supposedly submitted to war because we resisted, not because of negotiations, which...

Look, in the past two wars, negotiations did not lead to war. Resistance, resistance led to war.

People, know this lie.

That's it, let me say this first, then the next point. When we were attacked and our leader was martyred,

A week before that, wasn't Araghchi negotiating in Geneva? Right there, one of the

foreign publications published a detailed report. They said everyone was

astonished by Iran's generosity at the negotiation table, seeing how many concessions they came to give.

Meaning, when you went generously to give concessions, they struck and martyred our leader.

Don't come today and say war happened because of our resistance. It was precisely because of

It was a retreat that the enemy felt. There are some people in our country who, when

they are asked, "What would happen if your leader were assassinated?" instead of showing zeal and

saying, "We will set the region on fire," they say, "Nothing, we will choose a successor

in his place." Well, we have a mechanism which is in our constitution.

There is an Assembly of Experts that whenever needed,

they will elect a new Supreme Leader for the country, a new leader.

So we have no problem of that. I have seen in the,

you know, in the US media or others that, you know,

they want to, you know, assassinate the leader, these kind of things.

But, you know, this is a system that everybody would be replaced in a

very well-established mechanism which exists in the

system itself.

I haven't said this until today, and I was trying to exercise some discretion.

But honestly, since today when I heard Araqchi's words, before God,

I feel I have an answer before God. Let anyone say what they want. Mr. Araqchi, with

this stance, has absolutely no correct and realistic analysis of this war, America's position,

and our situation. Therefore, dear friends, from this crowd, it doesn't matter if it's me,

Mr. Nobaveh, Mr. Koochackzadeh,

Falsafi, the dear brothers who are here,

I don't want to name everyone now,

his impeachment must be registered in the parliament,

even if they still keep the parliament

closed for reasons, some of which we find unconvincing. To be recorded in history,

the impeachment of such a person must be registered in the system, so they can say, 'Look, in this parliament, not everyone

was the same, that its foreign minister would come a week before the leader's martyrdom and say, 'If

they assassinate him, we will choose someone else.' After his assassination, please, please,

Let him come after his assassination and say, 'Yes, now if we hadn't resisted,

there wouldn't have been a war.' I believe it must be recorded in history that a person named Seyed Abbas

Araghchi is not qualified to be the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic during a time of war.

Someone who makes so many consecutive miscalculations,

apparently never learns from America's bad faith. His weak and

feeble response to the potential assassination of the Leader, and now he turns around and says, 'Yes,

the cause of the war was our resistance.' 'If only you hadn't resisted! If you did, war happened,

and they wouldn't have killed us.'

You had gone to give up uranium and everything. Yet despite compromising, war broke out. Still, he spins a different story.

This must be recorded that, at least in our view, however many of us there are in parliament, such a perspective

is not worthy of holding the position of Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic.
