Pezeshkian, uncut, lifts Face the Nation far above its norm

The day-old conversation with Iran's president is moving at roughly a third of the pace the entire channel keeps in a typical day.

Extended interview: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the U.S.-Iran war

Nearly thirty times the usual. That is how far "Extended interview: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the U.S.-Iran war" is running ahead of a normal first day on Face the Nation's channel, where new uploads tend to open with several thousand views and then settle.

The channel is already one of the busier ones among news broadcasters of its size. Its daily pace sits between NPR's and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's, so a single interview standing out this sharply is not part of the routine.

Face the Nation is CBS News' long-running Sunday public affairs program, and much of its channel is made of interviews cut from the broadcast. This upload is the longer version, as the title says, and it gives a full hearing to Pezeshkian, who has led Iran since 2024, on the war between his country and the United States.
