TL;DR

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the CIA are formulating plans to create division within Iran and break its national unity. The statement was published by state-aligned channels Monday morning, according to Iranian media.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the CIA of conspiring to divide Iranian society. According to the president's statement, disseminated via state-aligned Telegram channels, the alleged plans aim to break the unity and solidarity of the Iranian people, which he described as the 'greatest hope' of his adversaries.

The remarks continue a pattern of defiant rhetoric from Tehran, increasingly directed at the US-Israel partnership. Pezeshkian has in recent days characterized American threats as desperation and accused 'Zionist' anger as proof of Iran's diplomatic successes, including its reported understanding with Washington. The new allegation against Netanyahu and the CIA is among the most explicit personal accusations by the Iranian president, though it does not cite specific evidence or detail of the alleged plot.

The context of heightened US-Iran tensions and ongoing uncertainty over Iran's nuclear compliance — the focus of recent CIA warnings — may color the timing of the president's remarks. The Zioneer has previously reported on Pezeshkian's line that threats to infrastructure are a desperation tactic, as well as his pointed criticism of Trump's negotiating approach.
