Supreme National Security Council

Iran is pursuing diplomacy with assurance, says Major General Rezaei, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. He added that Americans must first gain Iran's trust to continue negotiations, citing distrust of the mediators' guarantees as the main issue.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary, Maj. Gen. Rezaee:

A prohibited zone outside the Strait of Hormuz will be announced in the coming days. It will extend from the US Navy's blockade line into areas of the Persian Gulf. Any ship entering the zone will be placed on the sanctions list.

Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council: "The level of oil sales has returned to pre-sanctions levels; in addition to unloading floating reserves, we have created new routes for exports, which are gradually increasing."

Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary:

"Any agreement with the US is conditional on ending the wars in Lebanon and Gaza and Israel's withdrawal from Lebanese territory."

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, spoke in a meeting with Qatar's foreign minister:

"We do not trust the Americans and they have repeatedly betrayed diplomacy and negotiations. If America starts evil against the Islamic Republic, we will bring a disaster on their military and economic interests that will be recorded in history."

Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary, on the defense agreement between Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia: The pact is a sign that America told them it wants to leave the region.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary, on the defense agreement between Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia: The pact is a sign that America told them it wants to leave the region.

On being asked to endorse it: "These friends of ours said, come confirm the agreement. But why should we confirm it when we don't know what you have signed?"

Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council: "We will not surrender in any way. We will fiercely defend Iran to the last drop of blood and will not allow the enemy to set foot on Iranian soil. Our armed forces give themselves to the nation of Iran to the last drop of blood."

Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary: any opening of the Strait of Hormuz will be managed by Tehran and will carry a fee. He said this has no link to the Iran-Oman deal on the strait's middle route.

The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council: "We are fully ready for operations, but we will move with a logical and wise inclination."

The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council: "We have not attacked any of America's economic interests so far. So far we have only targeted military bases. But if they are going to advance the economic war, we are ready to target all American oil and economic companies in the region."

Iran’s Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezai:

The American people oppose the war with Iran and do not support the U.S. military or government.

In Iran, however, the people and the government are united behind the armed forces.

Major General Mohsen Rezaei, an IRGC hardliner, has been appointed the Supreme Leader’s representative to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

He will now be on top of the hunted list.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council says the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed unless 6 demands are met:

1. The U.S. and its allies stop all threats against Iran.

2. Military operations against Iran and its allies end permanently.

3. U.S. naval and air forces withdraw and the blockade on Iran is lifted.

4. Iran is compensated for war related damage.

5. All sanctions on Iran are removed.

6. All frozen Iranian assets are released without conditions.

The Strait of Hormuz will stay closed until Washington ends threats and attacks, withdraws forces near Iran, lifts sanctions, unfreezes assets and compensates for war damage, Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohammad-Bagher Zolghadr said.

Iran's negotiators are awaiting final sign-off from the Supreme National Security Council on the deal with Oman and the U.S., per Axios.

A mediating diplomat: "We expect this approval soon."

Mohsen Rezaei, adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader, named secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, per reports in Iran.

Ali Bakri-Khani, Deputy Secretary of the Supreme Council for National Security in Iran: "The leverage of the Strait of Hormuz is of crucial importance for us, and Iran will not back down from its position on this issue."

Iran's Deputy Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Bagheri:

"The United States has taken no action regarding the release of Iran's frozen assets and has violated its commitments."

A directive from Iran's Supreme National Security Council orders media outlets not to publish details on civilian infrastructure damage, the scale of destruction, or service disruptions, citing "wartime conditions." Reports must avoid causing public fear or highlighting the enemy's success. For damage and outages, outlets are told to use vague phrases like "under review and troubleshooting."

Mojtaba Khamenei authorized ceasefire talks with Washington after President Pezeshkian threatened to resign if the deal was rejected, warning Iran's economy neared collapse under a U.S. naval blockade.

The Supreme Leader said he opposed the agreement "in principle" but would back it if the Supreme National Security Council approved. It did, overwhelmingly.

It’s now July. Regime aligned accounts are turning on their own, calling it all bark and no bite, and warning that empty threats are gutting the IRGC’s credibility.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary, threatening both President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu:

"The file of revenge for the pure blood of Khamenei and the innocent martyrs of Iran remains open. The instigators and perpetrators of these crimes will be punished in due time - and the day will not be far off."
