Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed that the new plan proposed by Tehran to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz was developed "in coordination" with the leader Mojtaba Khamenei, and it will be implemented "without any problems" if the United States agrees.

Pezeshkian said in an interview with CBS, "Coordination has been made with the leader of the revolution... If the United States agrees to the plan and fulfills its commitments, we will do the same, and there will be no problem in this regard."

He also revealed the formation of a team of six members "including representatives from various organizations and bodies, including the military, parliament, and government."

The Iranian president, who concluded a week of diplomatic talks on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Friday, added that this team "meets to discuss the issues raised and has the authority to make decisions."

Despite this, he confirmed that the Iranian leader is in good health and is following up on matters, and that his face and legs have healed, but the security risks created by the "enemies" have prevented him from appearing, according to his statement.

He also indicated that he met with Khamenei twice, and in one of the meetings, they sat for seven hours discussing various issues.

However, the talk of a committee of this kind at a time when Khamenei has not appeared publicly since his appointment as successor to his father, Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the American-Israeli war on Iran, has revived speculation about his health.

Especially since Mojtaba has not appeared since last March, contenting himself with broadcasting written messages read through official media, which has increased rumors and questions about his health and ability to govern the country.

The new leader suffered severe injuries during the early hours of February 28, when Israel and the United States launched airstrikes that led to the death of his father, resulting in facial disfigurement and fractures in his left leg, according to several informed sources previously confirmed.

However, his assumption of a position that grants him significant religious and political status comes at a time when Iran is experiencing its most dangerous crisis since its "Islamic Revolution" in 1979, turning his continued absence from the public scene into a subject of increasing doubts.
