Iran's President Says Supreme Leader Urges 'Unity' Amid US Sanctions, and Other Mideast Developments
Pezeshkian said Khamenei urged unity as Iran weighs sanctions relief and keeps the Strait of Hormuz closed until U.S. conditions are met.
- On Monday, President Masoud Pezeshkian announced Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei is calling for "unity and cohesion" as the Islamic Republic faces economic hardships and sanctions from its war with the United States.
- Amid apparent tensions among the Islamic Republic's leaders, Pezeshkian described a nearly seven-hour meeting with the supreme leader, marking only their second reported encounter since Khamenei's appointment in March.
- Pezeshkian told IRIB that discussions covered "people's livelihoods, the state of the market, employment, people's housing," as well as "problems that are now being created as a result of the sanctions."
- Conditioning the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated that Iran will not reopen the waterway until the United States ends its blockade and lifts sanctions.
- Iran appointed military adviser Mohsen Rezaei to head the Supreme National Security Council, where he threatened American forces with "serious risks and casualties" while expressing willingness to negotiate for Iran's maximalist aims.
