During the meeting, they discussed the country’s economic and military affairs.

The talks covered people’s livelihood needs, conditions and future prospects of the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, military developments, and ways to secure resources and manage rial, foreign currency and energy expenditures, as well as economic engagement with foreign partners.

The meeting comes amid prospects of further escalations between Iran and the United States after the latter failed to achieve its declared goals in an unprovoked war against Iran.

The US and Israel launched their second round of war against the Islamic Republic on February 28 by assassinating the former Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and several top commanders and officials.

On July 6, 2024, Pezeshkian was elected president after winning the July 5 run-off of the 2024 presidential election. He was formally appointed as the president by Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on July 28, 2024, and was sworn in before the Iranian parliament on July 30.

His election came months after former President Ebrahim Raeisi was killed in a helicopter crash.
