Multiple international and regional media outlets have reported that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has resigned. According to the reports, he submitted his resignation letter to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei’s office, citing long-standing internal disagreements and political tensions over the country’s power structure. The reports claim that Pezeshkian’s decision follows growing frustration over the shrinking role of the government and presidency in key policy decisions.

According to Iran International, Pezeshkian’s resignation letter alleged that hardline factions within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had become increasingly dominant, limiting the government’s ability to function effectively. Sources said the president found it difficult to fulfill his constitutional duties under the current political circumstances and requested immediate approval of his resignation. However, there has been no official confirmation or comment from Khamenei or his office.

Media reports also noted that tensions between the government and military-security institutions had been escalating for months, with the IRGC gradually expanding its influence. This situation has reportedly led to administrative paralysis and obstacles to the government’s reform and diplomatic initiatives.
