Middle East experts are condemning NBC's Lester Holt for not effectively challenging Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's denial of Iran's involvement in a plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump. Pezeshkian, during an interview with Holt, claimed the allegation was an Israeli false-flag operation designed to incite 'Iranophobia.' Critics argue that Holt failed to confront Pezeshkian with evidence, including a 2022 animation on Ayatollah Khamenei's website depicting an Iranian drone targeting Trump.
Middle East experts are calling out NBC’s Lester Holt after they claim he failed to challenge Iran ian President Masoud Pezeshkian's 'bold-faced lies' during his interview aired Tuesday – including that Iran never attempted to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump. 'The American media has been for a very long time way too differential and accommodating to the Islamic Republic's leadership,' Jason Brodsky, policy director at United Against a Nuclear Iran , said.
President Trump ordered a strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite Quds Force while he was traveling in Baghdad on January 3, 2020. 'I would show it to him. I would have confronted him. What about this video? Let me play this video. What do you say? What do you say to this?' Brodsky said.
