London-based Iran International TV, citing a source, reported President
PEZESHKIAN has submitted a formal resignation request to the Supreme Leader's
office. In a letter sent Sunday he said the presidency and government have been
excluded from major state decision-making, creating a power vacuum that has
allowed hardliners within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to seize
control. He said he cannot manage the government or fulfill his legal duties
under these conditions and has asked to resign immediately.
