Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that no decision regarding a potential agreement between Iran and the United States will be made without the approval of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. Speaking on May 24, 2026, he emphasized the need for unified decision-making and collective loyalty in governing the country.

Pezeshkian warned that any statements or positions that create division within society effectively aid the enemy’s harmful objectives. He reiterated that all national decisions must remain within the framework of the Supreme National Security Council and under the supreme leader’s authorization.

The president’s remarks underscore the central role of Iran’s supreme leader in shaping foreign and national policy, particularly in sensitive negotiations involving the United States.
