Iranian President Reports Secret Dark Meeting With Mojtaba Khamenei, Doubts Who Was Visibly Present
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly met Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei in a secret, dark Tehran location where they could not see each other; the encounter lasted only a few minutes and left Pezeshkian questioning whether the person he met was really Mojtaba. He later claimed a longer, two-and-a-half-hour May meeting in a cordial setting. The report portrays tensions between the president and the supreme leader, including threats of resignation and an alleged ‘final ultimatum’ backed by the IRGC. Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen in public for about five months, while US and Israeli media commentary and Trump remarks add to questions about leadership stability in Iran.
