Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says the level of “interaction” with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is increasing day by day, according to remarks published in a video clip by state media on Tuesday. The comments come amid months of speculation about Khamenei’s health. Sources cited by the outlets reviewed say Khamenei has reportedly been injured and has not been seen in public since an airstrike at the start of the war that killed his father and predecessor, Ali Khamenei. The outlets agree that Pezeshkian’s statement is intended to address questions about the Supreme Leader’s condition, but they do not provide additional details about the nature or severity of any injuries, nor do they specify what “interaction” entails. Overall, the reporting centers on Pezeshkian’s claim of increasing access or contact with the Supreme Leader while noting the prolonged absence from public view following the earlier airstrike.
