Iran’s president says communication with supreme leader is currently ‘very difficult’
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says in an interview aired by state TV that communication with the country’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is currently “very difficult.”
Mojtaba has not made any public appearances since he became supreme leader, replacing his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in one of the first strikes launched against Iran by the US and Israel.
