Pezeshkian: Iran

Iran “never” plotted to assassinate Donald Trump during last year’s US election campaign and never will in the future, President Masoud Pezeshkian told NBC News’ Lester Holt in an exclusive interview in Tehran, AzVision.az reports.

Asked about the reported plot against Trump outlined by US authorities, Pezeshkian said: “This is another one of those schemes that Israel and other countries are designing to promote Iranophobia. ... Iran has never attempted to nor does it plan to assassinate anyone. At least as far as I know.”

Holt then asked Pezeshkian: “You’re saying there was never an Iranian plot to kill Donald Trump?”

“None whatsoever,” Pezeshkian replied.

Asked whether Iran is willing to promise that there will be no attempt on Trump’s life, Pezeshkian said, “We have never attempted this to begin with, and we never will.”
