A senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander stated that after 'all the disasters and sacrifices' of the supreme leader, Iran is entering negotiations with the US from a position of high military readiness. He added that the American side must understand that Iran will not allow further harm, according to a Telegram post attributed to the commander.
A senior IRGC commander reasserted Iran's tough negotiating posture in a Telegram statement on Tuesday, claiming that the Islamic Republic approaches talks with the United States from a position of high military readiness. The commander invoked the sacrifices of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and warned Washington against any further attempts to harm Iran.
The statement comes amid a protracted standoff between Tehran and the Trump administration, with the IRGC alternately signaling openness to negotiations and withdrawing from talks, as The Zioneer has reported. Earlier in June, the IRGC set preconditions for talks including a full US withdrawal from the Middle East. The current remarks reaffirm a maximalist stance, framing diplomacy as an extension of military pressure.
The authenticity of the source posting the statement could not be independently verified; it is one of several unofficial outlets carrying IRGC-affiliated content.
