— 🇮🇷 Who is Mohsen Rezaei, new Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council?
– Major General Mohsen Rezaei was the IRGC Commander-in-Chief from 1981 to 1997, including most of the Iran-Iraq war.
– He ran as a conservative Presidential candidate in 2009, 2013, and 2021, losing each time.
– He is known for his hardline views and has made numerous controversial statements. In 2025 he famously claimed that if Iran was nuked by Israel, Pakistan promised that it would nuke Israel in response.
– Despite his controversial and sometimes laughable statements, he is a staunch supporter of the Islamic Revolution and one of the most loyal allies of Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, favoring a ‘language of force’ in dealing with the United States.
