Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said he met Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei on Thursday, marking the leader’s first publicly acknowledged interaction since assuming the country’s top position in early March. Speaking after the meeting in Tehran, Pezeshkian praised Khamenei’s “vision” and described his conduct as “humble and sincere.” The remarks come amid heightened regional tensions and growing international scrutiny over Iran’s political and military posture. Khamenei has largely remained out of public view since his appointment, fuelling speculation about internal political dynamics and decision-making within the Islamic Republic’s leadership structure. The meeting is likely to be closely watched for signals on Iran’s domestic governance and broader regional strategy.
