Pezeshkian had previously stated that communication with the Supreme Leader, who holds the final say on the state's major policies, was "very difficult at the moment." Earlier in May, Pezeshkian mentioned meeting with Khamenei on an unspecified date, but the Supreme Leader's office had not commented at the time.

Mojtaba Khamenei was reportedly injured in late February during an Israeli-American attack on Tehran, which also killed his father and predecessor, Ali Khamenei. Mojtaba Khamenei has made statements only through attributed announcements. According to a Revolutionary Guards general cited by the Iranian news agency Tasnim, photos of the Supreme Leader, depicted among civilians and during meetings with armed forces chiefs, "will be published in the future," though no date was specified. These would be his first publicly released photographs since his appointment, fueling speculation about his relationships with other senior Iranian officials and his health.
