Mohsen Rezaei, a military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, issued a stern warning to the United States. As discussions between the U.S. and Iran regarding a ceasefire and peace settlement face challenges, Iran has made it clear that it will not engage in negotiations accompanied by military pressure.
On June 3, Rezaei stated on X (formerly Twitter), "We will not allow excessive demands from the U.S. in negotiations or during the ceasefire process." He added, "Any aggression will be met with concentrated missile and drone strikes."
He emphasized, "History does not turn back," warning that "invaders will be swiftly punished." This statement is interpreted as a warning that Iran will respond immediately if the U.S. undertakes further military actions.
Rezaei previously served as the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Iranian media have referred to him as a commander during the Iran-Iraq War, while foreign outlets describe him as a military advisor to the Supreme Leader.
This statement comes amid stalled ceasefire discussions between the U.S. and Iran. Reuters reported that tensions in the Gulf region have escalated following Iran's attack on a Kuwaiti airport and subsequent U.S. retaliatory strikes near the Strait of Hormuz.
