Iran rejects ‘excessive demands’ in talks or ceasefire, Leader’s advisor warns US
A senior Iranian official says Tehran will not allow the United States to make excessive demands, either in negotiations or during the ceasefire process, warning that any act of aggression will be met with a volley of missiles and drones.
Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council and military affairs advisor to Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, made the remarks in a post on X on Wednesday.
“Neither in negotiations nor in the ceasefire process will we allow America to make excessive demands,” Rezaei wrote.
“The response to any shot or aggression will be a volley of missiles and drones. History will not turn back, and the aggressor will be punished swiftly.”
Rezaei’s warning came as the fragile Pakistan‑brokered ceasefire showed new signs of strain.
On Tuesday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced it had launched missiles and drones against the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, a US Air Force base in Kuwait and other American military assets in the Persian Gulf region.
The attacks were in retaliation for a US strike on an Iranian vessel in the Gulf of Oman and for a US attack on a communications tower south of Qeshm Island.
The exchange marked the third Iranian attack targeting US‑linked facilities in Kuwait within a week.
Earlier strikes on May 29 and June 1 involved ballistic missiles and drones, with some causing injuries and damage, including the destruction of a US MQ‑9 Reaper drone.
The latest military exchanges underscore Iran’s determination to respond forcefully to any violation.
Tehran has repeatedly stated that its patience has limits and that any aggression will be met with a devastating response, including expanding restrictions on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al‑Mandab Strait.
