Iran's three branches of government hold joint meeting in Tehran

A meeting of the heads of Iran's three branches of government was held on Sunday, bringing together the executive, legislative and judicial leadership in a single session. The meeting was hosted by President Masoud Pezeshkian, according to a report by Mehr News Agency (MNA).

Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and Judiciary Chief Hojjatoleslam Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei attended the session, the report said. The three officials represent Iran's executive, legislative and judicial branches respectively, and their joint meetings are typically convened to discuss matters requiring coordination across the branches of state.

No details of the discussions were immediately released. The report did not specify the agenda of the meeting, the topics raised by the participants, or any decisions that may have been taken. It also did not indicate how long the session lasted or whether further meetings were planned.

Meetings among the heads of Iran's three branches are not routine public events, and when they occur, official readouts are often issued only after the fact or withheld entirely. The absence of an immediate statement leaves the substance of Sunday's talks unclear.

President Pezeshkian took office in 2024, while Qalibaf has served as Parliament Speaker since 2020 and Mohseni Ejei has headed the judiciary since 2021. The three-branch format is one of the established mechanisms for consultation among Iran's top officeholders.

According to Mehr News Agency, the meeting was held on Sunday and was hosted by President Pezeshkian, with the Parliament Speaker and the Judiciary Chief in attendance. The report added that details of the meeting were not immediately released.
