Assessment
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has publicly described his survival of an assassination attempt, claiming he was rescued from the rubble of the leadership compound in Tehran after a bombing that killed Ayatollah Khamenei.

The key question is whether this narrative is a genuine survival story or a political maneuver to shape the succession struggle.
