He dismissed the accusations as part of a larger effort to stoke fear of Iran, attributing the claims to schemes orchestrated by Israel and other countries. Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran has no intention of carrying out any assassination attempts, asserting, 'None whatsoever. We have never attempted this to begin with, and we never will.'
