thebalanced.newsIranian President Confirms Meeting with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei Amid Speculation
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed meeting Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who has remained out of public view since his appointment in early March following the death of his father, former leader Ali Khamenei, in a February airstrike. Pezeshkian described the meeting as revealing Khamenei's vision and humble approach but did not disclose details or timing. Speculation about Khamenei's health persists amid reports he was wounded during the conflict involving the US and Israel, with Iran and the US engaged in ongoing war talks.
