Senior military official Mohsen Rezaei, who served as the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for 16 years, has just told Iranian media:
"Whether the war ends or not is in our hands. We will only consider ending the war under two conditions:
First, the United States must fully compensate Iran for all losses it has suffered;
Second, there must be a 100% guarantee for the future, and this guarantee can only be achieved after the U.S. military withdraws from the Persian Gulf."
This second condition is the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Persian Gulf, which means that unless the United States essentially places itself out of reach of Iranian attacks, Iran's attacks will not stop. This withdrawal means that there will be no more U.S. bases in the future; otherwise, the Revolutionary Guards will not stop.
This is a new pattern that Iran is trying to establish.
War is not about one person or one place. In the future, there will be no U.S. bases or troops in the Middle East Gulf countries, and this is a completely new situation for Iran.
It seems that after two weeks of negotiations, the Iranians have gained confidence.
