BBC news Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said that “President Masoud Pezeshkian’s meeting with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is a sign that the Supreme Leader continues to support the government.” Mohajerani said, “This meeting was not merely a response to rumors about the president’s resignation; rather, it is another indication of the continuation of a relationship based on communication, trust, and support.” She was referring to reports regarding President Masoud Pezeshkian’s alleged resignation. Later, both President Pezeshkian’s website and Ayatollah Khamenei’s website described the reports as false and rumors. News of a seven-hour meeting between the Iranian government and Mojtaba Khamenei came at a time when various political circles in Iran have been strongly criticizing the performance of President Pezeshkian’s government amid the war and ongoing negotiations. The government spokesperson said, “The Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s clear support for the president and the government has already been demonstrated on various occasions.” Fatemeh Mohajerani said, “It is important to distinguish between constructive criticism in the country’s political environment and actions that actually contribute to creating public distrust and political division.” #AlNoorNews #Highlight #BBC
