More and more Iranians, diplomats and army officers, argue that the US is hiding its real plans.
The US plans to attack after the end of the World Cup, which concludes on July 19, 2026, with even greater ferocity because simply Iran categorically refuses to accept the American terms, and the US refuses to accept the Iranian terms. And within this backdrop of rupture, Israel insidiously and underground wants escalation.
Meanwhile, the leadership of the Corps of the Guards of the Iranian Revolution IRGC categorically states that the current religious leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, could never meet with Trump, who assassinated his father.
Trump will launch a third war against Iran after the end of the World Cup on July 19, 2026
Trump has used language and policy that reflect signs of a "no war, no peace" mentality, Iranian sources emphasize.
Such a mentality can be understood as a mechanism that has a striking resemblance to previous periods, a period that reflected signs of ambiguity and resulted in Iran being caught by surprise by the tactical operations of the US and Israel.
"Many of the existing political mechanisms and the strategic literature of Trump have a lot in common with the two previous historical stages that caught Trump by surprise."
The reality of the current era shows that America and Israel are preparing for a third war with Iran.
Diplomacy and media journalism can be considered as part of their efforts and thinking to mislead Iranian diplomats, strategic experts, executive officials, and military commanders in the new warfare environment.
Although the US House of Representatives passed a bill that prevents a new attack on Iran, this does not mean that Trump considers himself faithful to the strategic teachings of the political institutions and public opinion of the US.
In Trump's view, military victory is considered the main priority of the United States, therefore, he will use any mechanism and tactic to achieve his tactical and strategic goals and will likely do this after July 19, when the World Cup ends, fearing a strike by extremists during the football matches.
Many military experts recognize that drone and missile technology has shaped the nature of modern warfare.
The war is conducted under conditions that give the United States a comparative advantage
This requires perceptual ambiguity and "structural erosion" of Iran against tactical threats and military operations by the United States and Israel.
The realities of the strategic field show that the US and Israel are planning "ambiguity of perception," "tactical surprise," and "new operational action" against Iran.
Although the military and security institutions of Iran have not yet achieved such signs, the main reason for this should be sought in the comparative technological, strategic advantage of the US.
Based on this thinking, it seems natural that the diplomacy and political rhetoric of Trump are merely part of the equation of ambiguity and confusion in Iran.
If Iranian military commanders and diplomats feel skeptical about such conceptual and procedural frameworks regarding the military and tactical mechanisms of Trump, they will be caught by surprise once again and at this historical stage we will lose another part of our human resources and capabilities.
Understanding the strategy of the enemy is part of the necessities of military planning under conditions of military threat and operational action.
Mohsen Rezaei (IRGC Command): A meeting of Trump with Khamenei is impossible
The former commander of the IRGC, Mohsen Rezaei, emphasized that the talks with the US have reached an impasse, and he also denies the possible meeting between the Leader of the Revolution and Trump.
"The negotiations have reached an impasse and Trump must break this impasse. The ball is in Trump's court."
CNN wrote that Iran demanded the release of 12 billion dollars from frozen assets immediately after the signing of an interim agreement with the United States, and another 12 billion dollars should be released at a later stage.
The demand for the release of the frozen assets of Iran constitutes a confidence-building measure, and he said that the release of these funds by the Trump government could constitute "a new horizon for the future" for Iran and the United States.
The former commander of the IRGC also warned that if the US resumes hostilities, Iran will "transfer the war beyond the Persian Gulf" and could expand military operations from the Strait of Hormuz to the Indian Ocean, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea.
However, he added that "the probability of war is low."
Mohsen Rezaei (IRGC Command): We warn the US to accept the terms of Iran or they will receive a harsh slap
An advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution warned that Washington will either receive a "harsh slap" or will be forced to accept the terms of Tehran, noting that the United States systematically sabotages diplomacy and violates ceasefire commitments.
Mohsen Rezaei, former commander of the IRGC, emphasized:
"The first betrayal occurred during the 12-day war and the second during the 40-day war," he said, referring to the unprovoked wars that the US and the Israeli regime imposed on Iran in June 2025 and February 2026, both of which took place amid indirect talks between Tehran and Washington.
Washington maintains the illegal blockade of Iranian ships and ports since the US president announced its continuation in mid-April, violating the terms of the truce reached in the Pakistani capital.
America, Mohsen Rezaei said, had also not kept its commitments on the Lebanon front, adding another violation to a growing list.
The general implied that the door to talks has not closed.
On the contrary, he pointed out the structural dishonesties that poison the negotiations.
Washington claims that it will lift the blockade if the Strait of Hormuz opens again, yet the strait, he noted, remains open to commerce today.
"Why then do they not lift the blockade now?" he asked.
As a further confidence-building measure, he said that the US must release at least 24 billion dollars in frozen Iranian funds.
"The Strait of Hormuz is a powerful deterrent for us," Mohsen Rezaei said.
"The enemy must either come to their senses with a loud slap, or wisely accept the terms of Iran."
