War and assassinations are coming, whether an agreement is reached or not

▪️ Conflicting news and suspicions regarding the negotiations are circulating. As usual, the negotiating team's officials—from Araqchi to Qalibaf—remain completely silent, leaving American media the opportunity to monopolize the "first narrative." It seems our officials still view the public as untrustworthy to be informed about the inner workings of these matters.

◾️ In any case, whether there is an agreement or not:

1️⃣ The war on the military field will continue. The enemy's goal is our destruction, not negotiation and crisis resolution. Let us not forget that the previous two wars broke out from the middle of the negotiation table. It is not unlikely this time either, that at the height of seemingly positive news about the talks, we will be blindsided by the sudden launch of enemy attacks. This is especially true since the core of the enemy's assessments centers on the necessity of "assassinating the opponents of Iran's surrender" at all levels—with the Leader of the Revolution as the prime target, followed by military commanders, and then anti-American politicians.

2️⃣ America will not fulfill any commitment it makes. Therefore, anyone who still rejoices at the possibility of signing an agreement is delusional, living in another world, and wants to test this dead end for the hundredth time.

3️⃣ If there is an agreement, we will weigh it against the red lines set by the Leader. If the agreement aligns with those criteria, we will support the negotiators. If it does not, we will handle them differently and expose them to the public.

Controlling the Strait of Hormuz, refusing to negotiate over the nuclear dossier, extracting reparations from the enemy, lifting sanctions, and releasing frozen assets... all constitute a major part of the red lines that must be adhered to in any agreement.

Mr. Araqchi and Mr. Qalibaf! The choice is in your hands: either unite the nation by maintaining the Leader’s red lines, or—God forbid—cause societal fracture and division by violating them, paving the way for a new sedition in the country.
