Iran will enter a war with the United States if Israel launches a new attack on the Islamic Republic, the former chief commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard said on Sunday.
Major General Mohsen Rezaei also said Tehran will not accept negotiations with Western powers that give Israel time to prepare or strengthen its position.
“Negotiations aimed at giving Israel time or strengthen it are unacceptable,” Rezaei told the state TV as he was once again seen wearing his military uniform.
“If that happens, the moment Israel starts a war, we will also enter a war with the United States,” Rezaei, a member of Iran’s Expediency Council, added.
“Negotiations must not be accepted in any form, at any price, or without conditions,” he said.
“If we enter negotiations, military force must in no way be used against Iran. Otherwise, we will retaliate; not only against Israel, but also against American targets in the region.”
