Mohsen Rezaee, a retired major general and former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reiterated Tehran’s demands for compensation for war damage and a U.S. withdrawal from the region.
In an interview with SNN TV news on Saturday, he said, “The end of the war is in our hands. We look to the end of the war when we first recover all our losses from America. Secondly, we must achieve a 100% guarantee of the future, which is not possible without America’s withdrawal from the Persian Gulf. Therefore, the second condition is America’s withdrawal from the Persian Gulf.” (The SNN TV website is currently blocked in the U.S.; it is an Iranian state-run semi-official news agency and website associated with Basij, a part of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.)
