Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says he has recently met with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, offering one of the first public accounts of direct contact between the president and the supreme leader, who has reportedly been largely out of public view. Multiple outlets report that Iranian state media carried Pezeshkian’s remarks about the meeting.
The reports say the supreme leader had suffered severe wounds at the start of the war involving Iran and the United States and Israel, leading to limited public appearances. Pezeshkian describes the meeting as occurring in a “humble” and “deeply cordial” atmosphere, and he also comments that his encounter reflected a humble and sincere approach. One report frames the comments as a first public account of the meeting after the supreme leader’s injuries.
Taken together, the coverage centers on Pezeshkian’s public statements and the characterization of the interaction, without adding independent verification of details beyond what state media and the president’s remarks provide. The reports do not specify the meeting date or broader policy outcomes from the encounter.
