Iranian official: "We are in one of the most complex periods we have experienced"

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, admitted in closed talks that Iran is in one of the most complex periods in its history, contradicting official statements about resilience against Trump's sanctions. The rare remarks reveal a gap between the regime's public message and internal assessments.

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said in closed talks that Iran is in one of the most complex periods the country has experienced, according to Iranian opposition media. The remarks contradict official statements by other Iranian officials who claim Iran is strong against sanctions imposed by US President Donald Trump. Just days earlier, Rezaei made a militant statement attacking the American president, calling him "the worst president in American history," and emphasizing that Iran determines reality through its people, soldiers, and missiles. However, the Iranian regime continues to demand the removal of sanctions as a condition for a future agreement with the US. Rezaei's unusual remarks reveal a gap between the regime's official message and internal assessments.
