Reactions
In a video statement, Carlson said the American public has a right to hear directly from foreign leaders — even adversaries — when their government engages in military actions.
“We just finished up an interview with Masoud Pezeshkian, who is the president of Iran… We know we’ll be criticized for doing this interview. Why did we do it anyway? Well, we did it because we were just at war with Iran 10 days ago and maybe again,” Carlson said.
“Can you believe everything you hear from the president of Iran? Probably not. But that’s not the point. The point is you should be able to decide for yourself whether you believe it or not,” he said.
What's Next
He also revealed that he has made multiple requests to interview Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and hopes that request will be accepted.
The interview with Pezeshkian, conducted remotely with a translator, is expected to be published in the next few days.

Pezeshkian, a 70-year-old heart surgeon, was elected president of Iran following the death of Ebrahim Raisi. Carlson noted that while he expected skepticism about the reliability of the Iranian president’s answers, the intent was to give Americans access to information so they could make up their own minds.
Carlson stated that some questions — including whether U.S. strikes had disabled Iran’s nuclear program — were left out because the answers would be “unknowable.”
Instead, he focused on broader questions about Iran’s goals and its position toward the United States and Israel.
