Buenos Aires, February 28 (NA) -- The spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil Baghaei, stated today that the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and President Masoud Pezeshkian are "safe and sound". According to the Argentine News Agency, the spokesman made these statements in an interview with ABC News Live, and assured that the Iranian system works "because our system is very comfortable, it is rooted in our identity and is based on a popular revolution". Baghaei pointed out that the system in Iran is not based solely on a single individual, and added: "Everything is being done according to our plans, and our armed forces are carrying out defensive actions against this act of aggression that has lasted all day long". On the other hand, US President Donald Trump, along with Israeli media, maintains that the Supreme Leader is dead. Trump's tweet claiming the Supreme Leader is dead.
