Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has accused Israel of attempting to assassinate him.
“Yes, they did make an attempt, and they took action, but they were unsuccessful,” Pezeshkian stated during an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, responding to a question on the subject, according to News.Az, citing TASS.
The Iranian leader revealed that the assassination attempt occurred about a week and a half ago. “I was in a meeting where we were discussing our next steps when they tried to bomb the location,” Pezeshkian explained.
