‘Bit off more than he can chew’: Iranian president resigns citing total IRGC takeover

Foundation for Defence of Democracies Iran Program Senior Director Behnam Ben Taleblu says Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian may have “bit off more than he can chew".

“If the report or the request was sent to the Office of the Supreme Leader, one still wonders what state the current or new Supreme Leader Motjaba Khamenei is in to be able to entertain and even read said request,” Mr Taleblu told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power.

“If one thought that the president was controlling Iran’s foreign and security policy, then stay on the line for the bridge I am about to sell you, because that was never true.

“The president simply does not have his finger on the trigger.

“President Pezeshkian bit off more than he could chew when he entered the ring politically in 2024, and perhaps that represents his frustrations.”
