Iranian officials say the country’s political system remains stable despite the loss of senior figures in recent attacks. They emphasize that governance continues smoothly even as regional tensions rise. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the Islamic Republic relies on strong institutions rather than any single individual. “Officials play different roles, but the system does not depend on one person,” he explained.
Araghchi spoke after reports of the assassination of Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, during Israeli strikes in Tehran. He added that political, economic, and social institutions continue to function without disruption. Judiciary Chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Eje’i echoed these remarks. He said the country has maintained stability even during wartime. At a judiciary meeting, he confirmed that government operations continue without interruption.
Eje’i criticized the United States and Israel, saying their military measures have failed to destabilize Iran. Despite targeted attacks on senior officials, state institutions remain effective. He also addressed the broader geopolitical situation, arguing that the perception of American power has weakened. He noted that Washington has sought additional military support from allies, including NATO members.
Eje’i highlighted rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. He said Iran’s military presence plays a key role in maintaining control amid ongoing conflict conditions. Iranian leaders continue to stress that the country’s governance structure can withstand both external pressure and internal losses. They insist that it remains stable and effective, reflecting the resilience of the nation’s political and administrative institutions.
The officials’ statements underline that Iran’s political system is built to endure crises. They emphasize that even under hostile conditions, the country can maintain governance and stability without disruption. Leadership and strong institutions ensure that state functions continue smoothly, and recent attacks on senior officials have not weakened the system’s authority or ability to operate effectively.
