Iran International Claims President Pezeshkian Met Supreme Leader Without Seeing Him
Iran International has published a report claiming to have obtained exclusive information about a previously undisclosed meeting between Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
According to the outlet, which is critical of the Iranian government, the meeting took place at an undisclosed location under extraordinary security measures. The report alleges that President Pezeshkian did not meet the Supreme Leader face-to-face. Instead, it claims Khamenei remained concealed behind a vehicle, and that the president heard his voice during their discussions without ever seeing him directly.
Iran International did not provide publicly available evidence to substantiate the account, and the report relies on unnamed sources familiar with the alleged meeting.
If accurate, the reported arrangements would reflect unusually stringent security precautions surrounding the Supreme Leader, potentially highlighting concerns over his personal safety amid ongoing regional tensions. However, Iranian authorities have not acknowledged such a meeting or commented on the claims.
Neither the Office of the Supreme Leader nor the Iranian presidency has issued an official statement regarding the report. As a result, the details remain unverified and should be treated with caution until independently confirmed by additional sources.
