Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said he believes Iran can resolve its differences with the United States through dialogue, but trust would be an issue after U.S. and “Israeli” attacks on his country, according to an interview released on Monday.
“I am of the belief that we could very much easily resolve our differences and conflicts with the United States through dialogue and talks,” Pezeshkian told conservative U.S. podcaster Tucker Carlson in an interview conducted on Saturday.
“The United States’ president, Mr. Trump, he is capable enough to guide the region towards the peace and a brighter future and put Israel in its place. Or get into a pit, an endless pit, or a swamp,” Pezeshkian said. “So it is up to the United States president to choose which path.”
The Iranian President said “Israel” was responsible for the collapse of talks by starting a 12-day air war, killing top Iranian commanders and nuclear scientists.
“How are we going to trust the United States again? How can we know for sure that in the middle of the talks the Israeli regime will not be given the permission again to attack us?” Pezeshkian said, adding that “Israel” tried to assassinate him.
“They did try, yes,” he said. “They acted accordingly, but they failed.”
