Amidst the ongoing tension with America and ongoing talks regarding ceasefire, shocking news came out in which it was claimed that Iran’s President Masoud Pejeshkian resigned from his post. The reason behind leaving the post was said to be the arbitrariness and interference of IRGC. IRGC-related Tasnim news agency has given clarification on the claims of Pejshkian’s resignation, quoting a government source.

News agency Iran International, quoting a source, had claimed that Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian submitted his resignation on Sunday (May 31), citing the ‘occupation’ of the IRGC’s administration. The report also states that the resignation was sent for the approval of Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. The agency has made these claims quoting an unknown source.

The report claimed that President Masoud Pezeshkian said regarding his resignation, ‘The President and the government have been effectively isolated from the country’s major and important decision-making processes and have enabled radical factions within the IRGC to take control of power, in such a situation, they are finding themselves unable to fulfill their responsibilities.’

Iran government denied the claims

The IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency quoted an informed government source as saying that President Massoud Pezeshkian has not resigned and is continuing in his duties. The agency denied Iran International’s report that he had expressed his desire to step down.
