In an interview with Tucker Carlson, President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed Israel, backed by the U.S., tried and failed to assassinate him.

Masoud Pezeshkian says he is not afraid to become a martyr and says the US was not involved in the alleged assassination plot in interview with far-right podcaster.

In an interview, Masoud Pezeshkian said the attempt came during last month’s 12-day war and accused Benjamin Netanyahu of seeking endless wars in the Middle East.
