Senior Iranian official Mohsen Rezaee:

We want to maintain the security of the Strait of Hormuz.

We want to protect the environment of the Strait of Hormuz.

We must establish an insurance mechanism so that incidents occur, ships that encounter problems are covered to reduce their risk.

And when we provide all of this, these costs cannot come out of the pockets of the Iranian people.

These costs must be collected from those who are transporting oil through this strait.

Iran's Mohsen Rezaei:
"The unhinged U.S. president imagines that bombs can get him out of the quagmire he himself created. "

"Iranian missiles will sink him even deeper into it."

Washington must choose between accepting Iran's terms and losing the last shred of its credibility in the world."

Iran does not want to budge on deal terms, all of which cross President Trump's red lines

Leaders

Gen. Mohsen Rezaei, military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, to CNN:

Talks are deadlocked. A Trump–Supreme Leader meeting "will not happen." The U.S. must unfreeze $24 billion in Iranian assets to reach a deal. If war and blockade continue, Iran will drag it into the Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and Mediterranean.

"The cost of negotiating is much less for America than the cost of fighting with us."

Former IRGC chief commander Mohsen Rezaei posted on X that Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and will not allow U.S. naval operations there to continue. He also rejected any further escalation in Lebanon amid intensified Israeli strikes.

"The patience of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran has limits," Rezaei warned.
