Communication with Mojtaba ‘very difficult at the moment’, says Iran’s president
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that communication with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is currently difficult, though he maintains that their meetings remain productive. Khamenei has maintained a low public profile following the death of his father in a recent conflict-related strike.
