Mohsen Rezaei, military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, has warned that if the United States continues its current military approach, it will lead to a "dead-end road." In an exclusive interview, Rezaei emphasized that negotiations are the only viable solution and stated that Iran is prepared to counter any U.S. maritime blockade with attacks. He highlighted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) new operational doctrine focused on asymmetric warfare, utilizing cost-effective drones to target high-value enemy assets. Rezaei, a former Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC, plays a significant role in shaping Iran's military strategy and currently advises Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
