Iran president says government policies follow supreme leader’s guidance

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said government policies and international engagements will be fully coordinated with the country’s supreme leader, stressing that the administration would follow the leader’s guidance in all major decisions.

“As the elected representative of the Iranian people and president, I consider it my duty to fully follow the leadership’s guidance,” Pezeshkian said in a message released on Friday.

“No policy in the administration of the country or in international relations will be proposed or pursued by the government without coordination with the leadership,” he added, saying such obedience forms “a foundation of national unity” and will remain a guiding principle of his administration.
