Supreme Leader blocked heavier attacks in region, his IRGC representative says

Abdollah Haji-Sadeghi, Supreme Leader’s representative in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said Iran could have taken heavier action against US interests in the region during the war, but Mojtaba Khamenei did not agree because people in the Middle East would have been harmed.

Haji-Sadeghi said the enemy’s plan was to set Iranians against one another and drag the country into internal disputes.

He said both those who oppose negotiations and those who view negotiations as a form of struggle should understand that the enemy wants to create domestic divisions.

“Differences of opinion always exist,” Haji-Sadeghi said, adding that when there is a single commander at the top, everyone follows his command.
