Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Thursday that he recently met with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not been seen in public since his appointment in early March. According to the state-run IRIB news agency, Pezeshkian described the meeting was held in a "friendly atmosphere" and lasted nearly two and a half hours. But he did not mention when their meeting took place.

"What struck me most during this meeting was the vision and the humble and sincere approach of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution," Pezeshkian said in a video broadcast by state television.

Mojtaba Khamenei, reportedly wounded in strikes on the first day of the US-Israel joint attack against Iran that claimed the life of his father and predecessor Ali Khamenei, has released only written statements since his appointment.
