Iranian President Masoud Peshkeshian Claims Israel Attempted to Assassinate Him

Iranian President Masoud Peshkeshian has claimed that Israel attempted to assassinate him during the recent conflict but failed in its attempt. The startling revelation was made during an interview with American political commentator Tucker Carlson.

In the exclusive interview, Carlson asked whether the Iranian president believed that Israel had tried to kill him. President Peshkeshian responded affirmatively:

“Yes, Israel tried to do it, but they failed. I believe that the decision of life and death is in the hands of God alone.”

The president emphasized his willingness to sacrifice his life for Iran and its people, stating that every official in his government stands ready to defend the country, even at the cost of their lives.

When pressed by Carlson on how he knew Israel was targeting him, Peshkeshian explained that during a wartime meeting he chaired, Israeli intelligence learned of the location through spies and attempted to bomb the site. However, the attempt was unsuccessful.

➤ Background and Context

The interview comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, following months of regional escalation, airstrikes, and missile exchanges. Accusations of espionage and covert operations have been at the center of the conflict narrative, with both countries accusing each other of subversion and targeted killings.

President Peshkeshian’s claim, if verified, would mark a significant escalation and reflect deepening hostility between the two regional powers.

So far, Israeli officials have not publicly responded to the allegation.
