Iranian President Denies Reports Of Resignation

Pezeshkian rejected claims he planned to quit as hardliners press for greater control over war and diplomacy, with one report saying he threatened resignation 28 times.

  • Israeli broadcaster Channel 14 reported that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a "final ultimatum" to President Masoud Pezeshkian, warning that any future resignation offer would be accepted.
  • Senior cleric Mohammad-Bagher Kharrazi alleged Pezeshkian had threatened to resign 28 times before backing down after being warned his next resignation would be accepted.
  • Iranian officials strongly denied the report, and Pezeshkian insisted on Tuesday he will remain in office, stating his government is "fully coordinated" with military leadership.
  • Lawmaker Hosseinali Hajideligani is gathering evidence to impeach Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, arguing that even using the word "negotiation" could signal weakness and invite renewed military action.
  • Specialist Roger Macmillan warned that Khamenei has granted IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi decisive influence over U.S. policy, with the IRGC "hardening" and "moving to total control" of the Islamic Republic.
