Rezaei said in September that Tehran had set seven basic conditions for the US government as a prerequisite for starting any negotiations, according to what was reported by the official Iranian news agency IRNA.
Rezaei described Tehran's position as "decisive and unequivocal," noting that if Washington wants to overcome the current crisis it has caused and avoid further involvement, it must recognize Iranian rights and comply with the conditions presented.
He said, "Iran is ready to fight a fateful war, and it knows the weaknesses of the American army."
