Primary source Internal intake · 4 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 19:52

TL;DR

Iranian state-aligned channels are reporting that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei will issue a statement within the hour regarding the memorandum of understanding and ongoing negotiations with the United States, according to Yair Goldblatt, a security and Middle East analyst.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Iranian state-aligned channels claim that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei will issue a public statement within the hour on the memorandum of understanding and negotiations with the US, according to analyst Yair Goldblatt. The announcement, if confirmed, would mark the first time Khamenei directly addresses the talks since assuming office, offering a potential resolution to weeks of conflicting signals from Tehran. As The Zioneer previously reported, Iranian officials have signaled openness to a deal but insisted on the Supreme Leader's final approval (Axios report, June 11). The substance and tone of the expected statement remain unconfirmed, and no official confirmation has been issued via state media or government channels at this time.
