Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf have rejected claims by US President Donald Trump that there is an internal infighting within Iran’s leadership.

Pezeshkian said: “There are no hardliners or moderates in Iran. We are all Iranians and revolutionaries.” “With the iron unity of the nation and the state, and full obedience to the Supreme Leader, we will make the criminal aggressor regret its actions.”  

He added: “One God, one nation, one leader, and one path; victory for Iran, dearer than life.” 

Ghalibaf reposted the same message on his account on X.

Trump had earlier claimed there was a “crazy” internal conflict in Iran between rival factions within the leadership.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, he said: “Iran is having a very hard time figuring out who their leader is! They just don’t know! The infighting is between the ‘Hardliners,’ who have been losing BADLY on the battlefield, and the ‘Moderates,’ who are not very moderate at all (but gaining respect!), is CRAZY!”
