Khamenei adviser: We’re not in a ceasefire, another war with Israel or US ‘may happen’

A senior official in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says another war with Israel or the United States may begin at any time.

“We are not in a ceasefire, we are in a stage of war. No protocol, regulation or agreement has been written between us and the US or Israel,” Yahya Rahim Safavi, a senior military adviser to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, tells Iranian media.

“I think another war may happen, and after that, there may be no more wars,” he adds, according to a translation by Iran International.

“The Americans and the Zionists say they create peace through power; therefore, Iran must also become strong, because in the system of nature, the weak are trampled,” Safavi says.

“We must strengthen our diplomatic, media, missile, drone and cyber offensive strategy. We, the military, do scenario-planning, we see the worst case, and we prepare a plan for it.”
