Overview

• Masoud Pezeshkian told Tucker Carlson that Israel bombarded the site of one of his meetings during the June 13–24 war in a failed bid to assassinate him.
• He said Israeli airstrikes on top military commanders and nuclear scientists “torpedoed the negotiating table,” derailing stalled talks with Washington.
• The 12-day conflict killed over 900 people in Iran and 28 in Israel and prompted U.S. strikes on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities.
• Pezeshkian affirmed Iran’s willingness to resume talks if robust guarantees can block unauthorized Israeli attacks on Iranian territory.
• A ceasefire has held since June 24, but the president warned that any new Israeli action could unravel diplomacy and urged President Trump to secure binding assurances.
