Iranian military adviser Mohsen Rezaee says a US-Iran agreement depends on the US unfreezing $24 billion in Iranian assets, viewed as a trust-building measure, with $12 billion sought upfront and $12 billion later, amid US concerns over losing leverage.
Iran's military adviser to the supreme leader, Mohsen Rezaee, warned the US against continuing a naval blockade and further escalation in Lebanon, stating Iran's patience is not unlimited and that the Strait of Hormuz is under Iran's control.
Iran has withdrawn from negotiations to end the war with the US after Israel intensified its operations in Lebanon. Oil prices surged, and Iran threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz. US forces intercepted Iranian missiles in Kuwait.
Senior Iranian official Mohsen Rezaee reportedly said Tehran would not let the U.S. reopen the Strait of Hormuz with "an unrealistic plan."
