Iran’s president says Supreme Leader Khamenei is in good health

The intervention is notable less for the health claim itself than for the framing: a sitting president publicly locating all policy authority in the Supreme Leader, and doing so in a televised interview rather than a written statement. That emphasis invites scrutiny of succession mechanics and internal power distribution rather than confirming any medical fact, since the account rests on a single official's recollection of a private meeting. Whether such public reassurances continue, and whether other senior figures echo them, is the open question.
