Masoud Pezeshkian Denies Resignation Rumors as Iranian Leadership Faces Internal Power Struggles

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has officially denied claims that he has repeatedly threatened to resign during his presidency. While senior cleric Mohammad Bagher Kharrazi reported that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a final ultimatum stating he would accept the next resignation attempt, Pezeshkian insisted in a televised interview that he intends to remain in his position. The administration announced that the president is in complete harmony with the military forces and remains committed to the Memorandum of Understanding negotiated with the United States. Internal friction has emerged as hardline factions within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) appear to be gaining more influence over strategic decision-making. Reports suggest that Mojtaba Khamenei has granted IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi the final say on major decisions regarding the United States. This shift indicates a hardline move by the military establishment to take control from the civilian government. Meanwhile, the administration announced that the United States is prepared to launch a military operation against Iran if a final agreement is not reached, as President Trump warned of a "last chance" for a good document to be signed.
