Iranian President Pezeshkian offers resignation to Supreme Leader Khamenei - report

Jerusalem Post ^ | MAY 31, 2026 | TZVI JASPER

[Mr. Mojo]

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian sent a letter to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's office submitting his resignation, London-based anti-regime outlet Iran International reported on Sunday.

An anonymous official told Iran International that the letter had called out the fact that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had effectively taken over large portions of the government, and that the president and other high-ranking officials had been cut out of vital decision-making.

Pezeshkian, the letter emphasized, was unable to run the government or fulfill his responsibilities under the circumstances, and as such, requested to resign.

Anonymous sources told Iran International that the primary source of the differences between Pezeshkian and the head of the IRGC, who is believed to currently hold the lion's share of power in the regime, was "the way the war was managed and its destructive consequences on the people's livelihoods and the country's economy."

Khamenei hidden in secret location

Last week, US officials revealed to CBS that Khamenei is hidden in a secret location with little access to the outside world, only reachable through a "labyrinth" of couriers.

Even the highest officials in the Iranian government are unaware of his location and are not able to directly contact him, the officials said.

Did they look in their butt?

[AppyPappy]

I think he lives next door to me.

[Bobbyvotes]

Looks like the rats are jumping off the ship.

[ryderann]

So, who are we negotiating with?

“So, who are we negotiating with?”

Right now-or at 5 PM this evening, CST? It won’t be the same person, guaranteed. This is a slow collapse of any real authority-whatever psyops we are doing under the radar, it appears to be working...

[Libloather]

Big Mo didn’t quit.

I bet Mossad and the IDF know and are just waiting for an opportune moment of their own choosing. Not a matter of if, but of where, how, and when.

[for-q-clinton]

We need to take out the leadership of the IRGC.

[meatloaf]

There are no true negotiations. The IRCG is in a fight to the death. They can’t fulfill there mission in life ending Israel without a nuke.

[Texas Eagle]

👍

[linedrive]

Recognition of Israel can not be allowed from their perspective; as is true for many the US is pushing to sign the Abraham Accords.

These public resignations mean only war on the ground will resolve the situation - regardless if they are true.

Strait of Hormuz will not be considered secure unless Southern Iran and land along the Persian Gulf is not under IRGC control - only one way to do that.

What happened to the great Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Got a kick out of that little guy.

[McGruff]

In the letter sent on Sunday, Pezeshkian stressed that the president and the government have effectively been excluded from major and vital decision-making processes in the country, and that the vacuum created by this situation has enabled hardline factions within the IRGC to take control of affairs, the source said.

[gopno1]

I think he was killed in that bomb strike a few months ago.

[Red6]

LOL

And is a Uber driver?

[MotorCityBuck]

BINGO.👍

[fruser1]

He’ll go live with Obama.

[MotorCityBuck]

Yea.
The vaunted Mossad and IDF who didn’t see Oct 7th.
No thanks.
