IRAN Foreign Minister : "EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER" CONSTITUTIONAL PROCEDURES UNDERWAY
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi just spoke to Al Jazeera, outlining the leadership transition following Khamenei's killing.
Key points:
"There is a procedure set in our constitution. We have now started that procedure."
"The transition council is established today – composed of the president, head of the judiciary, and one jurist of the Guardian Council."
"This group of three will act as in charge of the leadership before a new leader is elected."
"The Assembly of Experts will elect a new leader – maybe in one or two days."
On the conflict:
"The killing of the supreme leader is a very serious and unprecedented act and a blatant violation of international law."
"It will make the confrontation more complex and dangerous."
"We have no restrictions or limits in defending ourselves."
What this means:
Iran projecting stability internally while vowing unlimited retaliation externally.
Constitution is working. Leadership transition underway.
But "no limits in defending ourselves" means escalation continues.
Market context:
Oil elevated. Gold elevated. Bitcoin bleeding.
Order internally. Chaos externally.
Stay safe.
