This is a very insightful interview with The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Aragchi. He talks a lot about Iran’s perspective on the buildup to war, and, near the end of the interview, describes his own experience of the attacks that killed many of his fellow officials on the day the war began. This is really worth watching if you want to see the Iranian perspective on the buildup to war.
