A source familiar with the matter told the London-based outlet that Pezeshkian said in the letter that the president and his government had effectively been excluded from major decisions. The source said Pezeshkian argued that the resulting vacuum had allowed hardline factions within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to take control of state affairs.
Pezeshkian also said he could not run the government or carry out his legal responsibilities under those conditions and had asked to step down immediately, according to the report.
