Iran President Says Israel Attempted to Assassinate Him

  • Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian alleged that Israel, backed by U.S. intelligence, attempted to assassinate him during a strategic meeting amid a 12-day war starting June 13.
  • This assassination attempt and Israel’s unprecedented airstrikes on June 13 occurred two days before planned U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, leading to the collapse of negotiations.
  • Pezeshkian credited Iranian intelligence with thwarting the plot, stated the attackers failed, and affirmed Iran’s commitment to a Supreme Leader’s fatwa forbidding nuclear weapons.
  • He stated that Iran is willing to resume negotiations but expressed doubts about whether the U.S. can be trusted once more, and he cautioned against America becoming involved in what he described as Netanyahu’s endless conflicts.
  • Pezeshkian expressed belief that dialogue could resolve U.S.-Iran conflicts despite ongoing proxy tensions and mistrust amid escalating regional violence.
