U.S. broadcaster Tucker Carlson said he has completed an on-camera interview with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, the first time the newly elected leader has spoken at length to an American journalist in months. Carlson announced the conversation in a video statement released Saturday.

The former Fox News host, who now runs his own digital outlet, said the recording was made in Tehran and will be released on his platform within the next 24 to 48 hours. Pezeshkian, a 70-year-old heart surgeon, seldom grants interviews to right-leaning U.S. media figures.

Carlson said the goal of the interview is to give Americans additional perspectives on U.S.–Iran relations. “If their country is doing something with Americans’ money in their name, they have an absolute right to know as much about it as they can,” he said, adding that he has also sought a separate sit-down with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The exchange comes amid heightened regional tensions. The United States and Iran traded military blows about 10 days ago, and Iranian missile strikes on Israel several weeks earlier left 28 people dead. Carlson acknowledged criticism he may face for hosting Pezeshkian but argued that broader public access to competing narratives is essential for informed debate.
