Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered explosive allegations during an exclusive interview with Tucker Carlson, claiming Israel attempted to assassinate him in a targeted airstrike on a high-level meeting.
The stunning accusations represent one of the most serious diplomatic charges leveled against Israel in recent memory.
The bombshell accusations emerged Monday when Carlson released the interview on social media, marking a significant escalation in Middle Eastern tensions following last month’s 12-day conflict.
The timing of these revelations comes as regional leaders continue to grapple with the aftermath of widespread military engagement across multiple fronts.
Pezeshkian detailed the alleged assassination attempt with remarkable specificity, describing how Israeli forces targeted a meeting he attended but failed to eliminate him.
The Iranian leader attributed his survival to divine intervention, framing the incident as proof of his nation’s righteous cause.
“They tried to bombard the area where we were holding that meeting, but it is God who wills when a person dies,” Pezeshkian stated during the interview.
His account suggests Israeli intelligence possessed detailed knowledge of the meeting’s location and timing.
The Iranian president maintained his willingness to sacrifice himself for his nation’s sovereignty, presenting himself as a leader prepared for ultimate sacrifice.
He emphasized his lack of fear regarding potential martyrdom for Iran’s independence and territorial integrity.
“I am not afraid of sacrificing myself for my country’s sovereignty, freedom, and independence,” Pezeshkian declared to Carlson.
The Iranian leader stated to Carlson that Israeli intelligence successfully identified the meeting location and launched the strike, though the attack ultimately failed to achieve its objectives.
Pezeshkian characterized the failed assassination attempt as strengthening Iranian resolve rather than weakening it, demonstrating what he described as his nation’s resilience in the face of external threats.
He questioned whether continued violence would bring regional stability, challenging the effectiveness of military solutions to diplomatic disputes.
The Iranian president directed sharp criticism at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of orchestrating what he termed a “devilish” campaign designed to provoke broader conflict.
Pezeshkian warned American policymakers against falling victim to Netanyahu’s alleged manipulation tactics, suggesting the Israeli leader deliberately deceives United States officials.
He urged the United States to avoid entanglement in what he labeled “Netanyahu’s war,” positioning America as a potential victim of Israeli strategic deception.
The Iranian leader emphasized his country’s self-reliance, dismissing dependence on allies such as Russia or China for national defense capabilities.
“We trust in God and are capable enough to defend our country, our territorial integrity, to the last drop of our blood,” Pezeshkian proclaimed during the interview.
Despite the assassination allegations, Pezeshkian expressed openness to diplomatic engagement with the United States based on international law principles.
The Iranian president blamed Netanyahu for sabotaging previous diplomatic efforts between Iran and America, claiming the Israeli leader deliberately undermines peace processes.
He suggested dialogue could resolve outstanding differences between the nations, emphasizing diplomatic solutions over military confrontation.
“We could resolve our differences through dialogue,” Pezeshkian told Carlson, while lamenting Israeli actions that have fueled regional unrest.
Pezeshkian voiced deep skepticism regarding the International Atomic Energy Agency, alleging the organization’s reports provided justification for Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.
“The IAEA’s last report gave an excuse to the Israeli regime for unlawful attacks,” the Iranian president stated, noting the agency’s failure to condemn such strikes.
The Iranian leader firmly rejected accusations that his country pursues nuclear weapons development, citing religious prohibitions from Iran’s Supreme Leader.
“Since 1984, Netanyahu has created this false mentality that Iran seeks a nuclear bomb,” Pezeshkian charged, insisting Iran’s nuclear program serves peaceful purposes only.
Regarding stalled negotiations with the United States, Pezeshkian accused Israel of “torpedoing the negotiating table” through various attacks, including strikes that killed off-duty Iranian commanders and civilians.
The Iranian president questioned how his country could trust American negotiation efforts given these security concerns during potential talks.
“How can we trust the United States again?” Pezeshkian asked, highlighting the safety challenges Iran faces in diplomatic engagement.
Despite expressing distrust toward Israel and America, the Iranian leader reiterated his administration’s commitment to peaceful solutions and national unity.
Pezeshkian denied Iran’s responsibility for initiating the current conflict, emphasizing his government’s desire to end hostilities.
“We did not start this war, and we do not want it to continue,” he stated, outlining his administration’s focus on fostering regional tranquility.
