Iran doesn’t trust US in talks, will respond decisively to any threats: IRGC
Commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iran does not trust negotiations with the United States aimed at ending the illegal American-Zionist aggression but puts faith in national power.
Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi made the remarks on Monday amid renewed US threats against Iran despite Pakistan’s mediation efforts for a second round of Tehran-Washington talks before the expiry of a ceasefire this week.
“As our Leader (of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei) said, we do not trust negotiations with you, but we believe in the power of God, people and fighters,” he said.
Mousavi also warned that any threat against Iran will be met with a “firm and decisive” response.
The Iranian commander declared that the country has passed through the era of weakness and surrender.
“Wherever you are, we will respond strongly whenever we want.”
The unprovoked, illegal US-Israeli aggression on Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders.
The Iranian armed forces unleashed 100 waves of decisive, successful retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic American and Israeli targets throughout the region.
They also blocked the Strait of Hormuz to oil and gas tankers affiliated with the enemies and those cooperating with them in an attempt to maintain security at the critical waterway.
On April 8, forty days into the war, a Pakistan-brokered two-week ceasefire went into effect but the first round of Tehran-Washington negotiations failed to reach an agreement due to excessive demands put on the table by the White House.
