Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Israel attempted to assassinate him by bombarding an area where he was holding a meeting.
When asked whether he believed Israel had tried to kill him, Pezeshkian told US media figure Tucker Carlson in an interview that was released on Monday, "They did try, yes. They acted accordingly, but they failed."
"It was not the United States that was behind the attempt on my life. It was Israel. I was in a meeting, they tried to bombard the area in which we were holding that meeting," he added.
However, he didn't specify whether the alleged attempt was during the recent war.
His statement came a few days after a truce between the two countries that had engaged in a 12-day war.
