Summary

  • Two meetings disclosed on Mojtaba Khamenei's Telegram page show Iran's supreme leader discussing compensation claims against the U.S. and Israel for war damage with judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei.
  • Saturday's meeting focused on how to pursue those claims, while a separate meeting last week with parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf covered the latest developments in the war.
  • The readout offers a rare glimpse of the new supreme leader's activity after he succeeded his late father in March.
  • Khamenei has not appeared in public since taking over, leaving official meeting summaries as the main window into his handling of the conflict.
