The spokesman of Iran’s top military command says that its armed forces will fight “until complete victory.”
The comments by Major General Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi, of the Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, appeared related to US President Donald Trump’s announcement that there were negotiations ongoing between Tehran and Washington.
Iran has denied any talks are taking place, though its foreign minister has been talking to counterparts around the region.
Iranian state television quoted Aliabadi as saying: “Iran’s powerful armed forces are proud, victorious and steadfast in defending Iran’s integrity, and this path will continue until complete victory.”
The general didn’t say what “complete victory” would look like, but it appeared likely that Iran’s military was trying to warn against offering concessions in any possible negotiations with the US.
