Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian has defended the negotiations between Tehran and Washington in his latest remarks published by Iranian outlets.
“Defending national interests and maintaining the county’s authority within the framework on negotiations is not an approach limited to the government, but rather all elements of the establishment have a common vision and goal about this,” Pezeshkian has said.
When it comes to negotiations, he says the approval of a powerful body in Iran, the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), is the “criterion” and adds that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has the last word when it comes to negotiations, BBC reports.
Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen in verified recent photographs or videos since succeeding his father in early March. So far, Iranian outlets have released several written messages attributed to him.
