Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian met Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Monday ahead of his trip to New York where he will attend the UN General Assembly, according to Iranian media reports.
During the meeting, Pezeshkian presented a report on his plans for the upcoming visit, state media said. Khamenei, in turn, "offered prayers and wished success for the president, while providing points and recommendations."
Some moderates in Tehran had urged him to seek Khamenei’s permission for a meeting with US President Donald Trump during the trip.
The Iranian president is scheduled to address the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.
