Iran President Says Israel Attempted to Assassinate Him

IRAN, JUL 7 – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Israel targeted a meeting he attended during a 12-day conflict that killed over 900 Iranians, underscoring rising regional tensions.

  • Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed on Monday that Israel attempted to kill him amid the recent 12-day conflict that began on June 13, 2024.
  • This attempt reportedly occurred at a strategic meeting and involved bombing the location, with Israeli efforts backed by U.S. intelligence agencies amid stalled nuclear talks.
  • Pezeshkian credited Iranian intelligence with thwarting the attack, accused Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of pursuing perpetual regional conflict, and urged the U.S. not to be drawn into the war.
  • He acknowledged that an attempt was made and efforts were undertaken, but they did not succeed, and he expressed his willingness to give his life for Iran, emphasizing that survival is determined by God's will.
  • Despite the heightened tensions, Pezeshkian said Iran is willing to resume nuclear negotiations if trust with the U.S. is restored and expressed skepticism about progress given the recent attacks.
