Pezeshkian

Iran’s supreme leader has appointed his close ally, Ali Larijani, as the country’s de facto leader, sidelining the elected president, Masoud Pezeshkian.

Tehran's crackdown on protesters and minority groups has intensified as the regime faces mounting pressure both domestically and internationally.

In a statement, the Turkish presidency said the leader had discussed the latest developments in Iran, after the worst domestic unrest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

This follows a similar statement made by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who stated that "Any aggression against Khamenei is tantamount to all-out war against the Iranian nation."

Iranian President Pezeshkian will not hold talks if not allowed nuclear science or missiles for defense.

Rather than looking at the harsh daily reality of his own country, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian used up his 15 minutes at the UN to blast Israel, and vow to not surrender to sanctions.

Iranian officials are seizing the opportunity created by global condemnation of Israel's strike on Hamas leaders to bolster regional alliances.

A senior Iranian political official told state media that an IDF strike on an Iranian national security council meeting was an attempt on Pezeshkian's life.

President Massoud Pezeshkian delivered a stark warning during a cabinet meeting on the same day, citing an energy ministry report that revealed the crisis was more severe than publicly acknowledged.
