Hojjatoleslam Abdollah Haji Sadeghi, the main representative of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, says “negotiation is not the primary option” with the United States, Al Jazeera reports.
“We will enter negotiations with power and caution, but we are not passive,” Sadeghi was quoted as saying in a post on Telegram.
“Our primary option is the field of jihad, whether on the battlefield or in the streets. We are not worried about the negotiations failing,” he added. “We have not gone into negotiations out of desperation or helplessness.”
