US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met with the country’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. The location of their meeting was not disclosed. Since the US strikes on Iran, Khamenei has not been seen in public. He was appointed in early March following his father, Syed Ali Khamenei’s assassination.
Mojtaba Khamenei has been conspicuously absent from public since his appointment; he only releases written statements. This reclusiveness is largely attributed to injuries he reportedly sustained during the initial strikes of the regional conflict.
US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: Iranian President Pezeshkian meets Mojtaba Khamenei
Iranian President, in a statement, said, “What struck me most during this meeting was the vision and the humble and sincere approach of the supreme leader of the Islamic revolution.” Khamenei was wounded in strikes on the first day of the US-Iran war.
The Iranian president indicated that the state is fully aware of the extent of foreign conspiracies aimed at destabilizing the country internally through the weapon of economic pressure. He further emphasized that the ultimate goal of these scenarios is to incite citizens to take to the streets, weaken the structure of the government, and dismantle the unity of the nation.
The President Pezeshkian’s speech reflected a firm commitment to Iran’s fundamental position that breaking the naval blockade is a first step.
This step must precede any agreements concerning the Strait of Hormuz, the most vital waterway for global energy trade. The Strait of Hormuz is also the site of ongoing military tensions.
