Mojtaba Khamenei aide’s chilling ’40 years’ warning surfaces amid US push for Iran deal

According to Fox News, Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and a key aide to Mojtaba Khamenei, warned in a 2006 interview that wartime negotiations could last 30 to 40 years, during which both sides should remain prepared to fight. This resurfaced warning coincides with reports that U.S. Vice President JD Vance sent a letter proposing renewed peace talks. Rezaei has publicly dismissed reports of ongoing negotiations on X, maintaining a defiant stance and insisting that Washington must surrender to Iran's seven conditions. Fox News also noted Rezaei's history, including U.S. sanctions and his alleged involvement in the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires.
