For the ongoing conflict between Iran and the US to conclude, the latter must withdraw its military forces from the Persian Gulf, according to a member of the advisory board of Iran\u2019s supreme leader.
\nMohsen Rezaee, a retired major general and former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), added that Tehran would also seek full restitution for the damage done and ironclad security guarantees from Washington.
\nIn an interview with Iran\u2019s SNN TV broadcaster published on Saturday, the member of the Expediency Discernment Council said that the \u201cpresence of the US in the Persian Gulf has been the main cause of insecurity over the past 50 years.\u201d
\n\u201cThe end of the war is also in our hands,\u201d Rezaee claimed, naming the \u201cUS withdrawal from the Persian Gulf\u201d among the key prerequisites. Additionally, Iran expects to receive reparations from the US, he added.<\/p>\n
