IRGC-affiliated lawmaker Ahmad Nabavian said the Supreme Leader had ordered no negotiations unless Iran could secure a 'war compensation' payment for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but that the directive was being ignored in the current talks with the US, according to a Telegram report.
Ahmad Nabavian, an IRGC-affiliated member of the Iranian parliament, escalated his criticism of the emerging nuclear understanding with the United States, asserting that the Supreme Leader's own red line on negotiations has been ignored. According to a Telegram post, Nabavian said Ayatollah Khamenei had permitted talks only on condition that Iran receive 'war compensation' in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He argued the current diplomatic track had 'trampled' that directive without securing such payment.
Since June 13, Nabavian has repeatedly warned that the deal's provisions — including unrestricted passage and Oman's role in managing the waterway — violate Khamenei's demand for exclusive Iranian control of the Strait. The IRGC itself has stated that showing readiness for talks does not mean abandoning the option of revenge against the US and Israel. The account, from a single source (the news-only the source 'Rak Neto'), remains unconfirmed by mainstream Iranian media.
