“Iran is ready for a fateful war; we are aware of the weaknesses of the US military and are more prepared than ever to confront them,” General Rezaei said in an interview with al-Jazeera TV on Saturday.
Rezaei said that Iran changed its strategy toward the US after Washington withdrew from a memorandum of understanding that was signed in June and sought to permanently end the aggression.
He said Iran has recently tested an anti-ship missile near a US aircraft carrier, adding that the country will target all US bases and interests in the region if it is attacked again.
Iran’s top security official said that Iran has conveyed its conditions for ending the war to the US through Qatar, adding that Tehran is continuing its consultations with Qatari and Pakistani mediators.
“We are waiting for Trump's response to these conditions. Ending the war on all fronts, the release of our blocked assets, and the end of the naval blockade,” he said.
Rezaei also said that Iran seeks an end to the ongoing war between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, adding that he believes the Yemeni armed forces also seek an agreement with Saudi Arabia.
