Iran President Pezeshkian says Supreme Leader ‘healthy’ amid ‘extremely critical condition’ reports

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei is "completely healthy" following a meeting between the two leaders. This comes amid reports that Khamenei was in an "extremely critical condition" following Israeli media claims. Pezeshkian emphasized that a seven-hour discussion with Khamenei demonstrated the Supreme Leader's good health.

The president also disclosed that they discussed various issues during the meeting. The story of Khamenei's health has been circulating within the Iranian regime, with rumors suggesting he could face martyrdom soon. The Iranian President noted that Khamenei, who became Supreme Leader after his father's death in a US-Israeli strike, has not been seen in public since the attack.

While he has communicated with officials through intermediaries, there have been doubts about the authenticity of a recent video showing him appearing healthy.
