The Iranian president claims that the mastermind behind the assassination plan against him is not the United States, but Israel.

Jin10 Data reported on July 7th, local time, that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi claimed in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson that Israel attempted an unsuccessful assassination of him during the 12-day conflict between the two countries last month. Raisi stated in response to a question about whether he believed Israel had tried to assassinate him that Israel “did indeed attempt it and took corresponding actions,” but “failed.” Raisi claimed that the mastermind behind the assassination plot was not the United States, but Israel. On June 13th, Israel launched attacks on targets within Iran, to which Iran subsequently retaliated. After the outbreak of the conflict, both sides launched several rounds of mutual attacks. This round of conflict resulted in the deaths of Iranian senior military commanders and nuclear scientists. Israel has not responded at this time.
