Included in the plan is a 60-day ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, concessions from Iran on nuclear enrichment, and an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire.A deal was not finalized, and President Trump requested amendments to the deal during the Situation Room meeting.Although Iranian officials have denied ever approving a deal, the chaos in the country continues to unfold, and a source claimed that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has submitted his resignation letter to the Office of the Supreme Leader.Fox News reports: Citing a source, Iran International reported Sunday that the letter stated the president and his government had been excluded from major decision-making in Iran.The report also said the ensuing vacuum had allowed hard-line factions within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to take control of key affairs.In the letter, Pezeshkian reportedly wrote that, under such circumstances, he is unable to govern effectively or fulfill his legal responsibilities and, for that reason, requested to step down immediately.Pezeshkian, however, is denying the claim.Iran International English shares, “President Masoud Pezeshkian has not resigned and continues to carry out his duties, IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency reported, citing an informed government source, denying an Iran International report that he had sought to step down.”“Separately, Seyed Mehdi Tabatabaei, deputy head of communications and information at the president’s office, dismissed the Iran International report in a post on X and said Pezeshkian would not step back from serving the people.”President Masoud Pezeshkian has not resigned and continues to carry out his duties, IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency reported, citing an informed government source, denying an Iran International report that he had sought to step down.Separately, Seyed Mehdi Tabatabaei, deputy… https://t.co/pri7cbaALX— Iran International English (@IranIntl_En) May 31, 2026Pezeshkian’s leadership has come under consistent scrutiny.A few weeks ago, he caused tension within a country trying to create a posture of strength by suggesting, during a meeting of the Government Information Council, which was televised by Iranian media, that Iran has suffered ‘harm’ from US attacks.Further, he urged officials to ‘face reality.’Read more:Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian Makes Surprising Public Admission About ‘Harm’ Suffered from US Attacks, Time to ‘Face Reality’/*!
