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 said Israel attempted to assassinate him during a 12-day air war that began with Israeli strikes on June 13.
  • The alleged assassination plot targeted a strategic meeting and was reportedly aided by U.S. intelligence, while the U.S. denied authorizing Israel's strikes during ongoing talks.
  • Pezeshkian expressed Iran’s willingness to resume nuclear negotiations conditional on restored trust and reaffirmed commitment to peaceful nuclear energy and Khamenei’s fatwa against nuclear weapons.
  • He acknowledged that efforts were made, but they ultimately did not succeed; he expressed no fear of dying for his nation and credited his continued survival to the will of God.
  • The assassination attempt and ongoing Israeli strikes have escalated regional tensions, stalled diplomacy, and underscored the proxy conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the U.S.
