Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has denied reports that he had submitted his resignation amid ongoing military escalation with the US.
“If I were going to resign, I would announce it publicly. I will not resign, and I will continue the struggle,” Pezeshkian said in a televised speech on Tuesday, excerpts of which were published by the official IRNA news agency.
He also denied claims of disagreements with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and the armed forces, stressing that “we are working in full harmony.”
“Everyone knows that if any disagreement arises, the armed forces would stand with Khamenei,” he said.
Iranian opposition media outlets earlier claimed that Pezeshkian had submitted his resignation to Khamenei several times.
