He said the apparently indirect talks of the Iranian and American delegations during Massoud Pazeshkian's trip to New York took place in a situation where there was no information about the position of the leader of the Islamic Republic regarding the negotiations.

More precisely, for more than three weeks preceding the Iranian president's visit, no other message was published, except for a condolence text, quoting Mujtaba Khamenei. On the day of the trip, a general announcement was made on the occasion of the beginning of the academic school year, which did not mention the recent crises or problems in the country. In fact, the leader's last message addressing these issues was the September 6 text on the occasion of "Government Week," which warned officials to "honestly express their weaknesses" so that "friends and comrades" would not worry.
