Iran's president says interaction with supreme leader is currently 'very difficult'
The comments followed a report by Iran’s Tabnak media site on Monday saying that Khamenei warned Pezeshkian that he (Khamenei) would accept the Iranian president's resignation if he resubmits it.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian recently revealed that his interaction with the Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is currently very difficult in an interview aired on state TV. Khamenei, who replaced his father as supreme leader after Khomeini's death, has not made any public appearances since assuming the role following the 2005 Iran nuclear deal.
Pezeshkian's comments came after a phone call with Khalil al-Hayya, the head of Hamas' political bureau, during which he assured that Tehran would support any Palestinian leaders' initiatives in the ongoing indirect negotiations with Israel. This call followed a report by Iran's Tabnak media site on Monday that Khamenei had warned Pezeshkian that he would accept the president's resignation if he resubmitted it, as relayed to Tabnak by one of Khamenei's relatives.
The Islamic regime has refrained from releasing audio recordings of Khamenei, with Tehran Municipality-affiliated Al-Mashhari newspaper explaining this reluctance due to potential risks to his location and condition. These risks could be identified through various acoustic and technical indicators, such as acoustic signatures, electrical grid interference, audio file imprints, equipment noise, and stress patterns in Khamenei's voice.
