Pezeshkian thanks Leader for support, pledges unity

President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday expressed gratitude to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, for his message of support, describing it as a continuation of the late leader's "constructive and peerless backing" for the government.

In a message, Pezeshkian stated that the "affectionate message from the Leader to the 14th government and himself was an extension of the late Ayatollah Khamenei's support." He further assured the Iranian nation and the Leader that, "in full unity and cohesion with the other branches of government, we will safeguard the authority and dignity of the country on the path to flourishing and progress."

The remarks come amid ongoing regional tensions and internal political dynamics, with the new administration seeking to consolidate its position. The Leader's message is seen as a significant endorsement of the government's agenda.

According to Mehr News Agency, the exchange underscores the close relationship between the presidency and the Supreme Leader's office, as Iran navigates complex domestic and international challenges.
