Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian hedged his answers on the Iranian regime’s connection with the Houthis and Hezbollah in a Thursday night interview, denying any formal relationship with either Middle East terrorist group.

“As those who are resisting in the region based on the situations that have been imposed on them, we have contacts with them. There is no systematic relationship,” Pezeshkian said in an interview on Fox News’s Special Report with Bret Baier.
