Iran’s president claims Supreme Leader Khamenei healthy, able to govern
Masoud Pezeshkian said the supreme leader is completely healthy, citing recent meetings and a seven-hour consultation, while no authenticated photo, video or audio has emerged.
- On Thursday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is "completely" healthy, stating he met the leader roughly a month ago to receive governance directions.
- Following the February strikes that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba succeeded his father but has not made a confirmed public appearance since, with reports indicating severe injuries.
- Addressing the public absence, Pezeshkian attributed the lack of visibility to "a lack of security that was created by the action of foreigners." He also cited previous seven-hour meetings as evidence of engagement.
- During the same interview, Pezeshkian reiterated Iran remains "willing and still wish to move forward" with peace agreements, insisting the country is not seeking nuclear weapons.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted in June that Mojtaba appears "increasingly engaging" through writing and intermediaries, complicating external verification of the leader's status.
