Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has publicly spoken for the first time about his recent meeting with the country’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. According to Iranian media reports, the two leaders spent nearly two and a half hours in discussion during what Pezeshkian described as a calm and sincere meeting.
Speaking about the encounter, the Iranian president praised Khamenei’s attitude and leadership style, saying, “His approach and interaction were extremely genuine and modest.” Pezeshkian added that the supreme leader’s behavior toward others reflected “a truly humble character,” emphasizing the atmosphere of trust and direct dialogue during the talks.

The meeting is being viewed as significant because it marks the first publicly confirmed in-person contact between a senior Iranian official and the new supreme leader since his appointment earlier this year. Mojtaba Khamenei has remained largely absent from public appearances, fueling speculation over his health and role within the Iranian leadership structure.
Political analysts say the president’s remarks may be aimed at projecting unity and stability within Iran’s leadership at a time of heightened regional tensions and ongoing international scrutiny. The statements also come amid continued diplomatic and security challenges involving Iran, the United States, and its regional allies.
