Iran Rejects Offers from Washington to Lift Sanctions for Relinquishing Revenge for Soleimani

A leader in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRG) stated that Iran had rejected offers from Washington to lift sanctions and make other concessions in exchange for abandoning plans to avenge the United States for the killing of General Qassem Soleimani with an American strike in early 2020.

The commander of the IRGC's naval unit, Ali Reza Tangsiri, said that the enemy (the USA) sent messages stating that if we abandon revenge for Soleimani, they will make concessions to us or lift some sanctions.

"These are illusions, as the Supreme Leader (Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei) emphasized the necessity of revenge, and the commander of the Guard also said that revenge is inevitable," Tangsiri added.

It is worth noting that the current nuclear negotiations in Vienna between Iran and the superpowers plus Germany, stumbled due to Tehran's request from Washington to remove the Revolutionary Guards from its list of foreign terrorist organizations.
