The Iranian president’s comments came during an unannounced appearance at the ministry meeting on May 6, where he also briefed attendees about the nature of his discussions with the Supreme Leader. The remarks were presented as part of a broader effort to highlight coordination between Iran’s executive leadership and its highest political authority amid ongoing regional and domestic pressures.
Separately, regional media reports have suggested that diplomatic activity involving Iran and the United States may be increasing, with discussions reportedly aimed at easing tensions and addressing maritime disruptions in strategic waterways such as the Strait of Hormuz.
