The Iranian regime now appears committed to a war of attrition designed to test the endurance of American military and economic interests in West Asia

In a significant hardening of Tehran’s rhetorical position, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, a veteran voice of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and a current member of the Expediency Council, has delivered a defiant rebuff to international calls for a ceasefire, CNN-News18 has learnt. Rezaei asserted that Iran has no intention of ending the current hostilities until a “definite outcome" is achieved. This stance signals a strategic shift away from early diplomatic feelers, as the regime now appears committed to a war of attrition designed to test the endurance of American military and economic interests in West Asia.

The core of the Iranian strategy, as articulated by Rezaei, rests on the belief that a prolonged conflict will eventually become untenable for Washington. The Iranian leadership is focused on imposing a heavy toll on the United States across three distinct fronts: economic stability, military assets, and human lives. According to top intelligence sources, this messaging is being amplified across Iranian social media to craft a narrative of inevitable American retreat from the Persian Gulf. By projecting an image of unwavering strength, Tehran aims to convince regional players and the American public alike that the cost of staying in the Gulf far outweighs any strategic benefit.

Intel sources suggest that Rezaei’s rhetoric serves as a primary tool of psychological warfare rather than a formal list of diplomatic conditions. The General claimed that the regime has utilised only a mere fraction—estimated at roughly 30%—of its total military capabilities during the recent exchanges with Israel. By hinting at an “infinite" stockpile of missiles and the ability to “blind" US forces stationed in the Gulf, Rezaei is attempting to create a “shadow of fear" over the maritime corridors. The strategy is clear: rather than negotiating for compensation or immediate withdrawal, Iran is seeking to create the conditions of a global economic crisis through oil disruptions to force a unilateral US departure.

Despite the escalating tension, senior intelligence analysts note that Rezaei’s refusal to frame formal conditions suggests the regime is still prioritising posture over policy. By keeping the criteria for a “decisive result" vague, Tehran maintains the flexibility to continue its military operations through regional proxies while avoiding the constraints of a formal peace treaty. This approach relies on the calculation that the US is more vulnerable to sustained, low-intensity economic and military pressure than to a conventional direct confrontation. For now, the IRGC remains firm, leveraging its hardline mouthpieces to signal that the war will only conclude on terms that project a total Iranian victory.
