Iranian President Claims Israeli Assassination Attempt

News summary

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed in a forthcoming interview with Tucker Carlson that Israel attempted to assassinate him during last month's 12-day conflict. Pezeshkian also signaled willingness to restart nuclear talks with the US if mutual trust can be rebuilt. The interview follows recent US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, which US officials, including President Trump, assert have set Iran's nuclear progress back by years; Iran insists it retains the right to peaceful nuclear research. Carlson defended the interview as an opportunity for Americans to hear directly from adversarial leaders, but has faced criticism for not pressing Pezeshkian on the bombings' true impact. The interview, conducted remotely with a translator, focused on Iran's intentions toward the US and Israel while avoiding topics deemed unverifiable. Carlson's outreach is part of a broader effort to showcase multiple perspectives on international conflicts.
