SAEDNEWS: A prominent reformist activist has praised President Masoud Pezeshkian’s recent sit‑down with American journalist Tucker Carlson, saying the interview displayed the same finesse and intelligence as a cardiac surgeon performing open‑heart surgery—and that its message is resonating deeply in the United States.
According to Saed News, political activist Ataollah Mohajerani took to X (formerly Twitter) to commend Pezeshkian’s performance, writing that he listened to the interview three times to fully appreciate the “knowledge, precision, sensitivity, and wit” with which the president addressed American viewers. Mohajerani noted that Pezeshkian carefully tailored his remarks not for domestic revolutionaries but for ordinary Americans and global audiences.
In particular, the president’s clear separation of U.S. interests from Israeli objectives—and of former President Trump from Prime Minister Netanyahu—was singled out as “outstanding” and likely to find receptive ears in the United States. Mohajerani emphasized that this was not an academic debate but a timely intervention aimed at both everyday citizens and policy elites amid calls for a cessation of hostilities.
He acknowledged that some critics in Iran may have disliked the interview, but likened Pezeshkian’s candor to “pure water for a patient”—necessary, even if unexpected. The praise underscores a rare moment of bipartisan international attention on an Iranian leader’s attempt to engage directly with American public opinion.
