Rezaei said in an interview with Al Jazeera channel that Iran has become more prepared to confront American airstrikes, noting its knowledge of the weaknesses of the US military.

Rezaei affirmed that Tehran is still committed to the fatwa of the late Supreme Leader and has not changed its nuclear doctrine, adding that it has not made a decision to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and that this is linked to Washington’s behavior.

On the diplomatic front, Rezaei said that Iran is in contact with the Qatari mediator, who conveyed its conditions to Washington to stop the war, awaiting the response of US President Donald Trump. He explained that Tehran demands ending the war on all fronts, releasing its frozen funds, and ending the naval blockade to reach a solution.

Regarding the escalation between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, Rezaei expressed his country’s desire for the war between the two parties to end, considering that the Yemenis also wish to reach a settlement with Saudi Arabia.
