Iran Proposes Pan-Islamic Army to Confront US: A Doomed Idea?
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Commander Mohsen Rezaei urged the formation of a pan-Islamic army to counter perceived American influence in the region, citing ongoing conflicts as evidence of a broader Western conspiracy. He framed this call to arms against a backdrop of statements by President-elect Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, portraying them as aggressive and hostile towards Muslims. Simultaneously, Iran’s foreign minister reiterated the country’s willingness to negotiate nuclear issues, but only without coercion from external pressures. This dual approach suggests a strategy of both military posturing and diplomatic engagement amidst rising international tensions.
