Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran’s president, reportedly submitted his resignation to the Supreme Leader’s office.
On the 31st (local time), Iran International, citing unnamed sources, reported that President Pezeshkian filed an official resignation with the Supreme Leader’s office. Fox News also cited the report. Neither the Iranian government nor the Supreme Leader’s office has officially confirmed it.
According to the report, Pezeshkian said in his resignation that he and his administration had been excluded from Iran’s key decision-making. He said hard-liners within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) filled the resulting power vacuum and seized control of core state matters.
Pezeshkian told officials he could not operate the government normally under those conditions and could not carry out the legal responsibilities of the presidency. For that reason, he requested to resign immediately.
Iran International said it is unclear whether the Supreme Leader’s camp will accept Pezeshkian’s resignation. If accepted, the resignation could affect Iran’s foreign negotiations and wartime decision-making structures.
The report comes amid ongoing U.S.–Iran negotiations. On the same day, U.S. President Donald Trump told a Fox News program hosted by Lara Trump that Iran’s negotiators were “very tough” and that “the United States is approaching carefully to reach a broader agreement.”
Trump had earlier said in April that the Iranian regime was “seriously divided.”
