The Head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Mohammad Ali Jafari has said his country’s agreement with the West over Tehran’s nuclear program was “not a cause for pride”.
“The agreement concluded between Iran with the West in July last year does not benefit the country,” Iran’s Tasnim news agency quoted Jafari as saying during a meeting of senior commanders.
“The Iranian people accepted the agreement against their will,” Jafari said.
Turning to the tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Jafari said: “The Revolutionary Guard Corps has prepared itself and waits for commands to respond appropriately to regimes like Saudi Arabia and Bahrain for their brazen actions toward Iran.”
In mid-July last year, Iran and six world powers reached a deal on limiting Iranian nuclear activity in return for the lifting of international economic sanctions.
