Reports published by Iran International claimed that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian had submitted a resignation letter because he believed he could no longer effectively govern while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) exercised significant control over national affairs and political decision-making.

According to the report, Pezeshkian allegedly felt unable to carry out his duties and fulfil the responsibilities of his office under the existing power structure.However, the claim was quickly disputed by officials close to the president.

Both the president’s office and the deputy head of communications denied that any resignation had been submitted and insisted that Pezeshkian was not planning to step down.The report also suggested uncertainty over whether Iran’s supreme leadership would accept such a resignation if it had in fact been offered.The article links these developments to a period of heightened regional tension involving Iran and the United States.It notes that US forces reportedly fired on a cargo vessel they said was attempting to breach a naval blockade of Iran near the Strait of Hormuz.

The situation adds to broader instability in the region and ongoing concerns about military and political confrontations involving Iran, the United States and Israel.At the time of publication, the reported resignation remained unconfirmed, with contradictory accounts from media sources and Iranian officials.
