‘We firmly confronted the U.S. efforts to clear our mines in the Strait of Hormuz, and we and considered it a violation of the ceasefire.

During the Islamabad talks, this almost escalated to the point of conflict, but the enemy retreated.

In Islamabad I told the American delegation that if their mine sweepers move even a little forward from its position, we would open fire. They asked for 15 minutes to give the order to return, and they did.’

Whispers in Tehran and Pakistani circles that negotiations with the U.S. have practically collapsed.

Iran not moving an inch on its red lines regarding uranium enrichment, fate of the stockpile, and Strait of Hormuz.

At the moment there are intense last minute efforts to revive the diplomatic path. Needs to happen soon.

‘I believe firmly in the path of Islam and true national independence, and so do all my colleagues. The path of truth.

I have no problem dying for this and sacrificing my life, honor and everything I have for this path.’
