Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has described meetings with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei as cordial, saying Khamenei showed kindness and sound logic. He also said communication with him is currently very difficult. Pezeshkian credited the leader with helping maintain unity during the war with the United States. Livemint, citing Iran International and unnamed sources, reported a conflicting account. It said Pezeshkian met a man presented as Khamenei inside a dark, tinted car for a few minutes, and later questioned the man’s identity. Khamenei has not appeared publicly for about five months, and no verified audio or video has been released.
