Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Wednesday he held a lengthy meeting with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, a rare acknowledgment of the leader’s role as he remains largely unseen and communicates only through written statements on state television.
Pezeshkian disclosed the meeting while touring the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade, tying the rare reference to Khamenei to a broader push on Iran’s economic agenda.
"I've met with our dear leader. We had a conversation for about two hours, two and a half hours. First of all, I have to tell you that his perspective and his way of behaving, he is really a sincere and humble person. From a leader, does one really expect such a way of behaving? That's how he was, really," said the Iranian president.
Khamenei has largely stayed out of public view since reportedly being wounded and has appeared only through written statements on state television.
