The commander of the Aerospace Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Majid Mousavi, said that “the enemy will not be able to achieve at the negotiating table what it failed to achieve on the battlefield”.
In a post on X on Tuesday, marking 100 days since the US-Israeli attacks on Iran, Mousavi said Iran “will neither surrender nor gets deceived”, adding that Tehran “does not trust the enemy’s promises”, in an apparent reference to the United States and Israel.
Amid a mix of setbacks and cautious optimism, Tehran and Washington have been holding talks since the current truce began on 8 April in an effort to end the war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on 28 February.

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump told reporters that a possible agreement with Iran could be signed within the next two or three days.
He added that the Strait of Hormuz, off Iran’s coast, would be reopened immediately after an agreement is signed.
Following difficulties in the negotiations, the United States has imposed a blockade on Iranian ports since 13 April, including those located along the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy supplies.
Iran responded by requiring ships passing through the strait to coordinate with Iranian authorities, raising concerns that the truce could collapse and the war resume, further driving up global energy prices and inflation.
