Tehran will not sit down for any talks with the United States until the seven conditions Iran has set are met, Hossein Taeb, the head of Iran’s paramilitary Basij force, has said. He also said the enemy had been left helpless in the war.
Speaking at a ceremony in memory of members of the IRGC Aerospace and Missile Force killed in action, Taeb said Iran’s armed forces had fired missiles at the Diego Garcia military base, run by the United States and Britain, during the war.
He said 650 members of the IRGC Aerospace and Missile Force had been killed in the 12-day war with Israel in 2025 and in this year’s war.
Taeb claimed that a few days before the US presidential election, President Donald Trump had sent a special envoy to Russian President Vladimir Putin to open a path to talks with Iran. Tehran made it clear, he said, that there would be no talks until its conditions were met.
“The enemy has been left helpless in the war. Now they are trying to bring down oil prices through talks,” Taeb said.
He added that the Strait of Hormuz would play an important part in setting the balance of world power. If Washington wants the waterway reopened, he said, it must carry out Iran’s seven conditions.
Citing an Israeli security assessment, Taeb also claimed that the growth of Iran’s missile stockpile from about 3,000 to 10,000 was seen as a major security threat to Israel.
