Mohsen Rezaei, a former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and current member of Iran’s Expediency Council, has said that Iran “will not negotiate the nuclear issue with anyone” and that control over the Strait of Hormuz must remain in Iranian hands, according to Iran’s ISNA news agency.
“If control and management of the Strait of Hormuz pass out of Iran’s hands, the enemy will once again weaponise it against Iran and its people,” Rezaei warned.
“The Iranian model emphasises that the region must provide its own security; foreign forces — whether American or European — must leave,” he added, according to ISNA.
