Pezeshkian Affirms Continuous Communication with Supreme Leader, Citing Recent Talks Hours Ago

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced his ongoing communication with the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Mojtaba Khamenei, confirming their most recent contact occurred just hours prior. Pezeshkian stated during a broadcast on "Fox News" on Thursday evening, in response to a query about the timing of their last conversation: "Yes, seven hours ago, as I mentioned previously, we held discussions." This declaration comes amid unprecedented military escalation in the region, coinciding with the ongoing US-Iranian confrontation since last February and escalating mutual attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.
