Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian denied reports circulated on social media and in some media outlets about his resignation. The Anadolu Agency reported this.
In an address on television, Pezeshkian said he had no intention of leaving his post.
“If I wanted to resign, I would announce it openly. I am not resigning and will continue the struggle,” said the Iranian President.
He also denied claims that there are disagreements between him and the supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, as well as the country's armed forces.
“All state structures are operating in full solidarity. Everyone knows well that if any disagreement arises, the armed forces will be on Khamenei's side,” said Pezeshkian.
Earlier, some media outlets close to the Iranian opposition had claimed that Pezeshkian had submitted a resignation request several times.
It is worth recalling that tensions between Iran and the United States intensified further in February of this year after Washington and Israel launched a joint military operation against Tehran. In response, Iran carried out drone and missile strikes on areas in the Persian Gulf where US military facilities are located.
In April, the two sides reached a ceasefire agreement. Later, in June, with Pakistan's mediation, a memorandum of understanding was signed aimed at ending the military conflict and achieving lasting peace.
However, in July, this agreement collapsed, and the sides exchanged strikes for nearly two weeks. Later, US President Donald Trump announced the start of negotiations and declared that the bombings had been halted.
