Iran's Pezeshkian Reportedly Resigns, Citing IRGC Takeover

Iran International said the letter cited IRGC control of key decisions, while regime-linked outlets denied the resignation and said Pezeshkian remained on duty.

  • On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly submitted his resignation to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, citing exclusion from key decision-making as President Donald Trump weighs a final determination on a potential Iran deal.
  • Pezeshkian's letter alleged the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps assumed control over critical governance areas, leaving him unable to fulfill his legal responsibilities or manage the country's economy effectively.
  • Denying the report, an informed government source from Iran called the claims a "factory for producing lies" intended to sow discord and obtain intelligence for foreign agencies.
  • President Donald Trump stated Sunday the United States will either reach a good deal or "finish the job" militarily if negotiations fail, emphasizing a patient approach to talks.
  • IRGC figures command the majority of Iran's oil exports and internal security networks, creating uncertainty about the stability of any potential diplomatic breakthroughs with Washington amid internal power struggles.
