The head of Iranian security issues blanket warnings to the US and its allies while outlining diplomatic terms.
General Mohsen Razai, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, delivered a series of sharp political and military messages to the US, Israel, European countries and regional countries, according to a report by Al-Mayadi Ahmed Al-Bahrani reporter.
Razai specifically warned Washington's allies both inside and outside the region against allowing their territories, airspace or military bases to be used by the US military in any potential future aggression against Iran, warning that Tehran's retaliatory response would target even remote US facilities.
He also called on the Gulf states to establish a comprehensive regional union encompassing all surrounding countries, specifically naming Iran, Iraq and the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, while reaffirming solidarity with regional allies in the axis of resistance.
Referring to diplomatic channels, Razai flatly rejected the reports regarding planned negotiations with the US Vice President, Jay. Dee Vance, denying any immediate plans for talks under US intransigence.
However, he left the diplomatic door open by confirming that Tehran made an offer weeks ago through Qatari mediation and Foreign Minister Abbas Arahi in New York, noting that while Washington's initial response was incomplete, a more comprehensive response may be forthcoming.
Furthermore, Rezaei emphasized that the end of the war in Iran and active fronts in the region, especially the Lebanese front, remains a necessary condition and basic priority for any future negotiations.
