Masoud Pezeshkian, in an interview with Fox News, announced the readiness of the Islamic Republic for an agreement and the reduction of enriched uranium concentration, but did not provide clear answers regarding the storage of nuclear reserves and guarantees of the IRGC's compliance with the agreement.

The host of the network also referred to the killing of protesters and military attacks contrary to the promises of the head of the Islamic Republic, asking: "Who controls the government in Iran?"

Pezeshkian emphasized in this conversation that the Islamic Republic does not seek war and claimed that war has been imposed on Iran. He stated that Tehran is ready to reach an agreement within the framework of international law but will not accept pressure to force the Islamic Republic to surrender.

He referred to an agreement and memorandum that he claimed had previously been signed with the American side, expressing a desire to continue on that path and held the U.S. and Israel responsible for the attacks and the killing of the former leader of the Islamic Republic, commanders, scientists, and government officials.

A significant part of the interview focused on Pezeshkian's authority over military forces. The host juxtaposed his promise to refrain from using force against protesters, apologizing to neighboring countries for attacks, and the actions of commanders against ships without the knowledge of the "president," asking why his commitments have been violated multiple times.

Pezeshkian initially addressed the statistics of those killed in the protests. When the host asked again who guarantees that the IRGC will comply with the agreement he signs, he said that groups were supposed to be formed for coordination, resolving misunderstandings, and creating a communication channel, but the opportunity to establish them has not been provided. He also accused American forces of arbitrary shooting in the region.

The host continued by asking: "Why should President Trump negotiate with you and not with the IRGC commander, General Vahidi?" In response, Pezeshkian spoke of the deep mistrust between Tehran and Washington and Trump's withdrawal from the JCPOA, but did not provide a specific explanation about the extent of his authority in relation to the IRGC commander.

The host challenged Pezeshkian by referencing statistics from human rights organizations and a report from Time magazine, asking: "You are a heart surgeon. How many Iranians in Iran have been killed by security forces?"

Pezeshkian once again declared the official statistics published by the government as the only real figures. He considered reports from abroad to be inconsistent with government information and called for the presentation of identity documents of the victims. At the same time, he expressed regret over the poor management of events and stated that the use of weapons in street protests is unacceptable.
