US Israel Iran War Latest Live News: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has revealed that communication with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has become extremely challenging during the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran. Despite the difficulties, he emphasized that Khamenei’s leadership continues to provide important support to the Iranian government.
Pezeshkian made the comments during an interview with Iranian state broadcaster IRIB on Wednesday. He explained that while direct contact with the supreme leader is currently limited, Khamenei’s continued presence remains an important factor in maintaining stability within Iran’s leadership structure. “Communicating with Mojtaba Khamenei is very difficult at the moment, but his presence is a significant source of strength for us, allowing us to maintain the process,” Pezeshkian said.
US Israel Iran War Latest Live News: Mojtaba Khamenei Remains Out of Public Sight
Mojtaba Khamenei assumed the position of Iran’s supreme leader after his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in a US-Israeli strike on February 28, an event that triggered the current war in West Asia. Reports indicate that Mojtaba Khamenei was also injured in the same attack. Since then, he has not appeared in public. Although he has released written statements, his absence from official ceremonies and public events has led to speculation about his health and his relationship with other senior Iranian officials. He was notably absent from his father’s funeral ceremonies held last month, further fueling questions about his condition and public role.

Pezeshkian also claimed that certain political groups were trying to create divisions by presenting a distorted image of the supreme leader. He referred to a recent council review in which Khamenei accepted the outcome after a proposal received 12 out of 13 votes. Pezeshkian argued that this showed respect for expert opinion and collective decision-making rather than weakness.
“What his eminence said was entirely correct,” Pezeshkian stated. He further accused critics of using that decision to spread misleading claims and provoke political disputes. “This act of accepting an expert opinion and deciding accordingly was turned into an excuse by some to create division and make unfair, dishonest claims, attempting to portray others in a certain light,” the Iranian president added.
