Iranian media published a written message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei on Thursday night, in which the leader of the Islamic Republic stated that he had a "different opinion" regarding the signing of the memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States, and placed the responsibility for it on Masoud Pezeshkian, the head of the Supreme National Security Council, and other members of this council.

In this message regarding the agreement with the United States, it is stated:
"I fundamentally had a different opinion, but due to the commitment that the respected President, as the head of the Supreme National Security Council, made on behalf of himself and other members to uphold the rights of the Iranian people and the resistance front, and explicitly accepted responsibility for it, I granted permission for it."

The message refers to the recent memorandum as "an agreement between the Presidents of Iran and the United States" and mentions that the leader of the Islamic Republic and the people will from this moment "await the fulfillment of the stated conditions." It is noted that future in-person negotiations "will not mean accepting the enemy's viewpoint."

In the headline and text of the letter and the news produced about it, there is a strong emphasis that this is a memorandum between Pezeshkian and Trump, and it does not mention it as being between Iran and the United States.

In reactions, there are claims of downplaying Ghalibaf's role or protecting him by shielding him with Pezeshkian.
