A senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei accused President Donald Trump on Saturday of undermining negotiations by maintaining a U.S. naval blockade and pressing what Tehran considers unacceptable demands in ongoing talks.
Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Khamenei and a former commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said Trump was "betraying diplomacy for the third time" by continuing pressure tactics while negotiations remain unresolved.
Rezaei's remarks come as the Trump administration weighs a tentative agreement that would extend the current ceasefire and launch broader negotiations over Iran's nuclear program and regional security issues.
Trump administration officials have repeatedly said Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon and have maintained that any final agreement must address Tehran's nuclear capabilities, highly enriched uranium stockpile and activities across the Middle East.
Iranian officials have pushed back against several U.S. demands, insisting negotiations must be conducted on what they describe as equal terms and criticizing continued economic and military pressure from Washington.
Rezaei has long been a prominent figure within Iran's security establishment and has frequently taken a hardline stance toward the United States and Israel.
He previously served for years as commander of the Revolutionary Guard and has remained an influential voice on military and national security issues.
Despite ongoing diplomatic contacts, significant disagreements remain between Washington and Tehran over sanctions, nuclear restrictions and regional security arrangements, leaving the prospects for a broader agreement uncertain.
