Full Report

Iranian authorities pushed back on circulating reports that President Masoud Pezeshkian submitted a resignation letter, stating that the administration remains committed to addressing domestic and regional challenges. Tehran's official cha els, including IRNA, quoted the government spokesperson asserting continuity of leadership and support for the Iranian people during difficult days. The denial comes as regional tensions persist over broader U.S.-Iran security and sanctions dynamics, with attention on Hormuz maritime activity and allied actions in the region. Analysts caution that state media narratives should be weighed against independent reporting as the situation remains fluid and subject to rapid developments.
