“Masoud Pezeshkian,” head of the fourteenth administration of the Islamic Republic, in the third part of his televised interview that was published on the evening of Friday, 16 Mordad 1405, spoke about the news that had been published regarding his resignation in the days of the war and afterward, saying: “I have never resigned. If I were to resign, I would announce it officially.”

Pezeshkian also said: “I will stand by and tell the people about the obstruction.”

A while back, a video of “Mohammad-Bagher Kharazi,” the secretary-general of a group known as the “Iran Hezbollah,” which speaks about the “28 times Pezeshkian resigned” and “Mojtaba Khamenei’s threat to accept the next resignation,” was published. In it, he discussed matters involving the brother of the spouse of Masoud Khamenei—another child of Ali Khamenei. The office of Mojtaba Khamenei denied the quotation and wrote: “In essence, it is false and contrary to the facts.”
