As the first round of U.S.-Iran negotiations under the memorandum of understanding wrapped up today (Tuesday), Channel 14 obtained dramatic quotes from closed-door conversations among senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officials—revealing a deeply troubling picture that contradicts what American officials are telling the press.
According to our sources, IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi and other senior officials are convinced Iran is the big winner of the current talks. “We brought President Trump to his knees; we got what we wanted. As usual, the foolish West believes it’s getting something from us in return— which, of course, will never happen,” Vahidi was quoted as saying.
Vahidi was also quoted declaring he’s aware the Strait of Hormuz issue is significant leverage over Trump, exposing the Revolutionary Guards’ deception and their real strategy toward the American administration. “Right now, the goal is to keep the Americans on a short leash. Any violation, even the smallest one, no matter who commits it, will allow us to threaten to close the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump and his people will, of course, agree to anything,” he said.
1+The closed-door conversations also reveal the Iranians have no intention of using funds from the deal the way Americans expect—in complete contradiction to Vice President Vance’s statements just yesterday. “Trump thinks we’ll waste the money he gives us buying goods from the United States. That will never happen in our lifetime.”
Additionally, Iran’s next target was exposed: portraying Israel as the “bad actor” in the Middle East, with a clear goal of damaging its standing in the eyes of the world. “We now need to make the Americans understand that Israel is the evil force in the Middle East. That is our goal.”
1+The closed-door talks made clear they have no intention of conceding on any point: “Don’t give up anything. Threaten. And if necessary—even abandon the talks.” The conclusion is clear and alarming: those running things in Iran, and apparently the entire region at least until November—unfortunately, it’s the Revolutionary Guards under the patronage of President Trump.
