Iran says Oman deal is in 'final stages' but US must act to open Hormuz
- On Sunday, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei appointed former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps chief Mohsen Rezaee as his representative to Iran's Supreme National Security Council , replacing Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr.
- Rezaee, 71, led the IRGC during the 1980s Iran-Iraq war and has spent more than five decades in Iran's security establishment. Khamenei praised his 'valuable experience' as a commander in the '8-Year Sacred Defense.'
- Analyst Vali Nasr noted that Rezaee has 'argued for perpetual conflict in the region and with the United States' in his book 'Iran's Grand Strategy,' reflecting his long skepticism of negotiations.
- Rezaee warned last week that 'American vessels and forces will face serious risks and casualties' if the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports continues, signaling his hardened stance on the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iranian-American academic Vali Nasr told CNN the appointment signals 'tightening of control' by Khamenei over decision-making ahead of potential negotiations with the United States to end regional conflicts.
