Iran International reports extraordinary security measures surrounding President Masoud Pezeshkian's alleged meeting with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, raising fresh questions about power and secrecy in Tehran.

According to local kurdish media Panjara it is claimed that Iran International claims President Masoud Pezeshkian met Mojtaba Khamenei under extraordinary security measures, fueling speculation over Iran's leadership.

Extraordinary new claims have emerged about an alleged private meeting between Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, with opposition outlet Iran International reporting that the president was taken to an undisclosed location under unusually tight security and was unable to see the man he had come to meet.

According to the report, Pezeshkian had repeatedly sought a meeting with Khamenei and even threatened to resign before the leader's office eventually agreed to arrange one.

However, the meeting reportedly did not take place at the Supreme Leader's official residence, breaking with long-established protocol.

Instead, sources cited by Iran International allege that security personnel transported the president to an undisclosed location in Tehran, where he briefly met Khamenei inside the back seat of a vehicle with darkened windows.

A Meeting Shrouded in Secrecy

The report alleges that the encounter lasted only a few minutes.

According to the sources, Pezeshkian was prevented from shaking hands with Khamenei and was positioned in a way that prevented him from seeing the leader's face, allowing him only to hear a voice speaking from inside the vehicle.

The unusual security arrangements reportedly left the president deeply frustrated.

Sources close to the presidency claimed Pezeshkian later questioned whether he had actually spoken to Mojtaba Khamenei, since he never saw the individual's face during the encounter.

It remains unclear whether those remarks reflected genuine doubts or anger over the treatment he reportedly received.

Request for Another Meeting Rejected

Iran International further reported that Pezeshkian later requested another meeting under more conventional circumstances at the Supreme Leader's official residence.

According to the report, that request was rejected.

The claims come amid continuing speculation surrounding Mojtaba Khamenei's leadership following his reported appointment as Iran's Supreme Leader earlier this year.

No official photographs, videos, or audio recordings of the new leader have been publicly released since his reported appointment, adding to intense public speculation about his visibility and leadership style.

Resignation Warning

Separately, Mohammad Baqir Khazraj (also known as Khorazi)—identified in the report as a relative by marriage of Mojtaba Khamenei—claimed in a recently released video that the Supreme Leader warned Pezeshkian that any renewed resignation offer would be accepted immediately.

Khazraj also alleged that major changes were planned within Iran's Supreme National Security Council and suggested that key figures, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, would have a reduced role in strategic decision-making.

These claims have not been independently verified.

No Official Response

Iranian authorities have not publicly commented on the reported meeting or the allegations surrounding it.

If accurate, the reported security measures would represent one of the most unusual and tightly controlled encounters ever described between an Iranian president and the country's supreme authority, underscoring growing speculation about decision-making and internal dynamics at the highest levels of the Islamic Republic.
