In an interview with Tucker Carlson, President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed Israel, backed by the U.S., tried and failed to assassinate him.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Tucker Carlson his country remains open to talks with the US, but that it was difficult to trust Washington after its strikes last month.

In an interview, Masoud Pezeshkian said the attempt came during last month’s 12-day war and accused Benjamin Netanyahu of seeking endless wars in the Middle East.
