According to an interview preview scheduled to be broadcast on national television, Iranian President Masood Pezzahizyan said on Tuesday that he would not resign and promised to continue his duties. Pezekhizyan said, “We are in full coordination with the armed forces. I'm not quitting my job; I'm going to stick to my job. If I decide to resign, I will officially announce it to the public.” Prior to this statement, senior clergyman Mohammed Bagher Kharrazi made a related statement. Kharrazi's sister married the brother of Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei. Kharrazi claimed that Pezekhizyan had threatened to resign 28 times and would not do so after receiving a warning — if he proposed his resignation again, it would be approved.
