    ❗️Iranian Supreme Leader and President hold seven-hour meeting to address sanctions and domestic challenges

    Expand

    Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian convened for a seven-hour strategy session today to evaluate critical national hurdles, as reported by Iranian media.

    According to statements carried by IRNA, the discussions prioritized public welfare, employment, housing, and the compounding pressures generated by economic sanctions.

    The high-level consultations unfold against the backdrop of volatile regional friction following an intense cycle of US-Israeli military aggression against Iran. Although a temporary ceasefire and memorandum of understanding were previously pursued, intermittent attacks on Iran have continued to challenge bilateral stability.

    President Pezeshkian emphasized that maintaining national unity and internal cohesion stood as the central directive issued by the Supreme Leader during the extensive talks.

        Knowing the reformists, Pezeshkian will cling to power until his term ends. Technically the Supreme Leader could probably throw him out with the IRGC, but I doubt he wants to do something that could potentially destabilize the country. There is a pathway that’s constitutionally viable I believe, but it would require cooperation of both the Judiciary and the congress. It’s likely just an ordeal to deal with, and unity has been a central pillar of Mojtaba’s messages during this war.
