Iranian FM Dismisses Regime Change Hopes Amid Sustained US and Israeli Strikes

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has dismissed the possibility of regime change in Tehran, labeling it a "mission impossible" despite escalating military pressure. The statement comes as US and Israeli forces continue sustained airstrikes targeting the Iranian capital, fueling international speculation about the government's stability. Iranian officials have also moved to deny widespread rumors regarding the fate of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, asserting that the country's political structure remains intact. The intensification of direct military action against a major oil producer has triggered significant volatility across global markets. Investors are closely monitoring the situation as risks to energy supplies and regional stability push Brent Crude and WTI prices higher. Gold (XAU/USD) also remains in focus as a primary safe-haven asset amid the growing geopolitical uncertainty.
