Secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council Mohsen Rezaei

The Secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council Mohsen Rezaei said that the US threat to target Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps boats was "propaganda".

Iran Press/Iran News: In an interview with Qatar's Al-Jazeera news network, Mohsen Rezaei said, "The US bases in the region are under surveillance. If our national security is endangered, we will target these bases with missiles."

"We will never begin a war with the United States but the end of any war waged by Washington is determined by Iran," Rezaei stressed.

Elsewhere in the interview,  Rezaei said, "An international arms embargo on Iran will end soon. After the lifting of these sanctions, no one can stop us from buying weapons."

"The position of Washington and the European Union on lifting the arms embargo on Iran is non-binding and we will not adhere to it," Rezai told Al Jazeera.
