Hossein Tayeb, head of the Basij today, November 12, at a ceremony in Mashhad for the visit of Mohsen Razai, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, to Moscow and the meeting with Vladimir Putin, the country's president, said that this trip was "without haste" and following Donald Trump's request to reach Putin in the middle of the term with Iran and reach an agreement with Iran in the middle of the term. Earlier, Mr. Razai said in Moscow that the Iranian leader wanted his message to reach Mr. Putin "as soon as possible."
In his speech, Mr. Taib noted that Trump sent a special ambassador to Russia to mediate a few days before the elections and said: "The Russian president sent representatives to Iran who carried the message of the Americans and wanted to stay in Iran to receive Iran's response. But the leadership calmly asked Mr. Mohsen Razai and gave them the opportunity of a leader and went to the revolution, there was no answer there."
