A senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution has warned against optimism about negotiations with the enemy given its past record of reneging on its promises.
Mohsen Rezaei made the remarks in an X post on Sunday, as high-level Iranian and American delegations have arrived in Switzerland to hold talks on the implementation of the newly signed Tehran-Washington memorandum of understanding (MoU).

Rezaei, a former chief commander of the IRGC, said the US strategy of “peace through strength” failed, and now they are pushing negotiations out of desperation. He emphasized that the enemy has proven to be a promise-breaker, and any optimism could be exploited.
The 14-point MoU, signed remotely by Presidents Masoud Pezeshkian and Donald Trump, aims to end the war on all fronts, lift sanctions, remove the naval blockade, and provide for reconstruction. Further talks for a final agreement are expected within 60 days. Pakistan played a key mediating role.
Iran remains committed to its national interests and will not compromise on its sovereignty or support for the Resistance Axis.
