That’s wishful thinking, sir. I mean YOUR personal wishful thinking on behalf of US-rael. Unbiased reporting is something completely different from what you do.
The threats voiced by Mohsen Rezaei are part of Tehran’s increasingly confrontational response to what it perceives as U.S. efforts to alter the status quo in the Strait of Hormuz.
These statements reflect a growing understanding within Iran’s leadership that it must establish a direct deterrence equation with the United States rather than relying primarily on its regional proxy network.
Underlying this shift is the collapse of Iran’s longstanding “forward defense” concept. The experience of recent conflicts has demonstrated that, despite years of investment in proxy forces, these actors are no longer capable of shielding Iran from future military strikes in the way Tehran once envisioned. Hezbollah’s reduced ability to impose significant costs on Israel has been particularly influential in shaping this reassessment.
As Iranian decision-makers reconsider the country’s military doctrine, direct deterrence against the United States is becoming a central component. Tehran appears increasingly willing to threaten or even target U.S. military bases and naval assets if necessary, based on the belief that preventing future conflict requires establishing a credible deterrent relationship with Washington itself rather than operating exclusively through intermediaries.
Iran is therefore likely to pursue a strategy that strengthens its direct deterrent capabilities regardless of the continued development of its proxy forces. From Tehran’s perspective, the only sustainable way to reduce the likelihood of future war is to convince American policymakers that the costs of military action against Iran would be substantial and immediate.
In this context, the Strait of Hormuz, investments in conventional military capabilities, and increasingly frequent threats directed at the United States will form key pillars of Iran’s evolving deterrence doctrine. The more consequential question, however, is whether this transition toward a stronger and more direct deterrence posture will eventually incorporate a nuclear dimension. The critical issue is not merely whether Iran remains a threshold nuclear state, but whether Tehran ultimately concludes that an operational nuclear deterrent is necessary to compensate for the declining effectiveness of its regional proxy architecture and the need to deterthe US.

@citrinowicz Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthies etc.. are part of resistance but were never operational as Iran's deterrence. So, I don't agree with that statement. Iran is finally coming to the conclusion that it needs deterrence. In SoH it has it and will develop nukes too to consolidate it.
Don't misdirect!
Hezbollah has not been weakened; it has proven its invincibility with renewed strength. Iran's deterrence equation against the United States has fundamentally nothing to do with the Zionist regime, it is a direct and independent confrontation.
If they, twice in a single year, bomb a country on baseless pretexts and false accusations, assassinate its leaders and military commanders, target its hospitals, schools, pharmaceutical factories, petrochemical plants, and power stations, and threaten its civilization with annihilation, then sit in Congress and confess that if Iran had nuclear weapons, they could not have attacked it! then, wittingly or unwittingly, they themselves are pushing Iran toward building nuclear weapons and a nuclear deterrent.
Especially at a moment when Iran has reached the conclusion that a third attack will indeed come!
🚨 🔥 MAJOR JUST IN: The Albania Story Just Escalated.
The country’s anti-corruption prosecutors have reportedly frozen bank accounts connected to the controversial $1.4 billion Kushner-linked luxury resort project on Sazan Island and the Vjosa-Narta wetlands.
That’s a significant development.
When prosecutors start freezing assets, the story is no longer just about a real estate project.
It’s about whether the approvals, land transfers, and money behind the deal can withstand scrutiny.
And in Albania, that scrutiny is only getting more intense.

Statt in den USA Lachse zu fangen und seine Frau vor Bären zu retten fixiert sich Kushner auf Europa. Haben die USA nicht genug eigenes Land? Doch – gestohlen von den Indianern. Trotzdem drängen sie zu uns – mit illegalen Methoden wie in Serbien. Kulturdenkmalschutzgesetz gefälscht. Kulturbeamtin verhaftet. Staatsanwaltschaft ermittelt. In Albanien dasselbe Muster – SPAK friert Millionen ein. Europa soll Europa bleiben. Und während Kushner Europa markiert – wählt morgen Armenien. Auch dort greift eine Macht von außen ein. Nicht mit Geld aus Golfstaaten. Sondern mit KI-Desinformation, Exportverboten und Drohungen. Russland in Armenien. Kushner in Europa. Beide wollen was ihnen nicht gehört.

@araghchi He is a sellout. Iran is the ONLY NATION actually risking EVERYTHING to help their brotherly nation of Lebanon regain PEACE.
While the other nations do not even issue their pathetic statements anymore. Aoun is a JOKE.
Based on Mr. Aoun's comments, one would think it's Iran that has occupied 1/5 of Lebanon, displaced 1/4 of Lebanese and bombing his country on daily basis.
Had Lebanon been bargaining chip for Iran, we'd have a deal long ago.
Save Lebanon from your real foe, Mr. President.
Ich möchte dem deutschen Journalisten, @FrederikPleitgen, der für CNN die Interviews mit obersten Vertretern der iranischen Regierung führt, ans Herz legen, seine Fragen mit mindestens so viel Höflichkeit zu stellen, wie die interviewte Person sie beantwortet.
Der Iran ist Ihnen bzw. CNN bzw. dem „Westen“ keinerlei Rechenschaft über seine weiteren strategischen Pläne schuldig, zumal er in weniger als 12 Monaten zweimal von US-rael ohne Voranmeldung angegriffen wurde. Merci.
🇮🇷 Iran Sends Message to Trump, Vows To EXPAND the War if Fighting Restarts
Mohsen Rezaei, Military Adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader:
- The moment fighting restarts, Iran takes the war beyond the Gulf and into the Indian Ocean, Bab al-Mandab, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean
- More U.S. bases come under fire, and he says American losses will be VERY heavy
- Khamenei will NOT meet Trump, and Trump is the one who froze the talks
- The $24 billion in frozen assets is a trust test America has to pass; it's Iran's OWN money
His message to Trump: "If Trump has the courage, many issues will be resolved in the future." He also tells Trump to decide independently of Israel and stop the blockade.
Rezaei ran the IRGC for 16 years and answers straight to the supreme leader, so when he maps out the next war it carries weight.
