S1/E32: Iran Denies Meeting Elon

Iran's Gambit

As some of you may recall, yesterday’s program was dedicated to the November 14 meeting between Mr. Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations, and Mr. Elon Musk, entrepreneur and adviser to President Donald J. Trump. Today’s program will continue this discussion, as the alleged meeting remains a focal point in Iran’s heavily censored media. Iran’s Foreign Minister Mr. Abbas Araghchi has outright denied that such a meeting took place. The conservative Kayhan newspaper prominently celebrated the dismissal of the meeting's news, while reformist outlets such as Ham-Mihan praised the initiative. There is also an intriguing front-page article in the Javan newspaper, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which merits our closer attention, and so does rumors of Mr. Ali Larijani being appointed Supreme National Security Council secretary in the near future.
