Rare Meeting Between President and Supreme LeaderIranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei in late July, around the start of the president’s third year in office, state media reported on Sunday . On July 21, Pezeshkian said interactions with the supreme leader were “increasing day by day”, but in early August he said communicating with Khamenei was “very difficult” . He had generally kept a low public profile before becoming supreme leader, but his lack of public appearances has intensified speculation about his health. Previous Public MeetingsIn May, state media reported that Pezeshkian had met Khamenei for several hours, in what was then the first publicly reported meeting between the two since Khamenei became supreme leader . The late July meeting marks the second publicly reported meeting between the president and the supreme leader.
