Did the President of Iran Pezeshkian resign?

On the eve, information about the resignation of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian resurfaced in the information space, attracting widespread international attention in a short time. This is not the first time such information has appeared, but this time it is accompanied by specific details that give it particular significance.

As reported by BAKU.WS, this is discussed in a new analytical segment on the YouTube channel "Free Iran."

The opposition television channel Iran International, broadcasting from abroad, reported citing an informed source that Pezeshkian sent a letter to the country's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, in which he outlined the reasons for his decision to resign. According to these reports, the president indicated that a group of commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had established full control over key spheres of state power.

According to the information received, Pezeshkian warned in his letter that the president has been effectively sidelined from the process of making the most important and vitally significant decisions for the country. He expressed serious concern that radical factions within the IRGC have seized the levers of state governance.

The media outlet that disseminated this information noted in its commentary that it is not yet known whether Mojtaba Khamenei will accept the resignation of the head of government. Nevertheless, Pezeshkian's letter itself, according to analysts, demonstrates the existence of a deep and unprecedented split at the highest level of power in the Islamic Republic. Iran has arguably not experienced such an open confrontation between presidential authority and security structures since the removal of the country's first president, Abolhassan Banisadr, in 1981.
