Pezeshkian’s Fox interview Baier asks about war

Sep 24

Bret Baier interviews Pezeshkian about negotiations, the June memorandum, ship attacks and command authority. Pezeshkian disputes protest death figures, describes meeting the supreme leader and denies knowledge of Chinese imagery alleged to have helped target a deadly Jordan strike. He offers uranium dilution and verification within an agreement, acknowledges economic hardship and rejects surrender. Baier challenges the answers with competing accounts; disputed casualty figures, responsibility and conditional proposals remain attributed.

In his September 24 Fox interview with Bret Baier, Pezeshkian denies seeking nuclear weapons and says Iran is willing to dilute its enriched uranium and submit to verification within an agreement. He answers an earlier surrender-of-60%-uranium question through a qualified commitment to the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Baier cites an IAEA stockpile estimate of 440 kilograms at 60% enrichment and says it has not been verified for more than a year; Pezeshkian does not locate that material. He invokes the late supreme leader's religious prohibition and objects to attacks on inspected facilities, bombing, pressure and blockade. He affirms a diplomatic way forward but announces no completed dilution, transfer or return of inspectors. Fox's later Yingst discussion challenges the nuclear denial and enrichment justification; its September 25 Saudi-nuclear brief and closing montage replay the denial and dilution offer. IRINN and Oman select his verification and non-weapons assertions, and Vremya retains his offer of access, objections to U.S. pressure and affirmative diplomacy answer. These are his conditional positions and the broadcasters' accounts and challenges, not independently established nuclear intent, stockpile location, inspection access or a new agreement. His shipping condition, MOU implementation explanation, regional-group command denial and broader peace/election statements are distinct occurrences within the interview.
