Iran's Pezeshkian Claims to Have Met with Regime's Missing Supreme Leader
- On Thursday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed he met Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei for two and a half hours, marking the first public confirmation that the new leader has been seen by a senior official since his appointment two months ago.
- The announcement counters speculation about Mojtaba Khamenei's physical condition after he made no public appearances, while the United States and others have pushed narratives suggesting divisions among Iran's security and political leadership.
- President Masoud Pezeshkian urged national cohesion, warning that "people should not simply be accused of corruption, treason or espionage, creating false boundaries between different sections of society" as he emphasized Iran's survival depends on unity.
- Officials dismissed reports of internal rifts as "fake news," asserting that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and leadership collaborate on strategic decisions regarding the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining their central role in the Islamic Republic.
- United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Iran to "make the sensible choice" regarding a new understanding, while Pezeshkian stressed that Iran cannot agree to any deal amounting to capitulation despite external pressures.
