Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian Denies Resignation Amid Hormuz Talks

Masoud Pezeshkian Mojtaba Khamenei Strait of Hormuz resignation rumors US‑Iran talks

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian publicly rejected rumours that he would resign, stating that he would announce any resignation openly and that he remains fully coordinated with the armed forces. He also denied claims of a split with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who, according to reports, issued a “final ultimatum” to the president and backed IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi on key decisions.

U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Iran would be “hit very hard” if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened soon. Negotiations involving Iran, Oman and the United States are reportedly close to a provisional agreement that would temporarily reopen the strait, with the United Kingdom and European partners expressing optimism that a deal is imminent. Market reactions included a drop in Brent and WTI crude prices as investors responded to the prospect of the waterway’s reopening.

The combined developments highlight internal political tension in Tehran and the broader diplomatic effort to de‑escalate regional maritime conflict.
