Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated in an NBC News interview on Tuesday that Iran has never conspired to assassinate Republican U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, refuting earlier assertions made by Trump and the U.S. government.

In November, the U.S. Justice Department charged an Iranian individual in relation to an alleged assassination plot purportedly ordered by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps against the president-elect. Authorities managed to prevent the alleged scheme from being executed.

During the previous U.S. election campaign, Trump suggested that Iran might have been involved in attempts on his life. When asked about any Iranian plans to kill Trump, Pezeshkian firmly responded, “None whatsoever.” He emphasized that Iran has never made such attempts and has no intention of doing so in the future.

Trump, who won the election and is set to take office on Monday, faced two assassination attempts during his campaign—one in September while golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida, and another during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July. Investigators have found no evidence linking Iran to either incident.

Additionally, Iran has consistently denied U.S. allegations of meddling in American affairs, including through cyber activities. Tehran has accused Washington of interfering in its internal matters for decades, referencing events such as the 1953 coup against its prime minister and the 2020 drone strike that killed its military commander.
