Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed Thursday that he last met with invisible Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei a month or so ago and that the ruling cleric was “completely” healthy.
“I don’t remember the dates. About a month. A month-and-half ago,” Pezeshkian told Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier, when asked about his last in-person meeting with Khamenei.
“We met for about seven hours,” the Iranian president continued. “We conducted talks.”
Khamenei, 56, is believed to have suffered horrific injuries in the Feb. 28 airstrikes that killed his father at the start of the US war against Iran.
He hasn’t made a public appearance, or even appeared on video, since being elevated to supreme leader.

When Baier pressed Pezeshkian if Khamenei is healthy and able to govern, the Iranian president was adamant he was.
“Very much so, completely,” Pezeshkian responded, noting that his administration is receiving “directions” from Khamenei.
Pezeshkian blamed the “lack of security that was created by the action of foreigners … the action of aggressors” for why Khamenei has been so reclusive since the start of the war.
