After the Nov. 24 announcement of a seven-month extension on the nuclear talks, some Iran conservatives are pointing fingers at the United States, and one Iranian news site is even criticizing the Supreme Leader’s foreign policy adviser.
At a speech today, Nov. 26, commemorating Basij Week and the Iran-Iraq war, Mohammad Ali Jaffari, commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, said that the Basij Organization was formed to “resist against American conspiracies,” adding, “The people know that the economic and political pressure and military threats are because … the people will not submit to American force.”
