Iran's supreme leader in full control of the republic, president says
Masoud Pezeshkian said implementation of the supreme leader's directions rests with the administration and government.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the country's supreme leader remains in full control of the Islamic Republic.
Pezeshkian added that the implementation of the supreme leader's directions "is in the hands of the administration and the government," according to remarks reported by Russian state news agency TASS.
The comments appear intended to underscore the structure of authority within Iran's political system, in which the supreme leader holds ultimate authority while elected officials oversee day-to-day governance.
Pezeshkian's remarks come amid ongoing scrutiny, both domestically and internationally, of the balance of power within Iran's leadership.
No further elaboration was provided on the specific context in which the comments were made.
