Expert Insight: Rezaei’s comments bridge Iran's military and diplomatic strategies. By presenting the $24 billion asset release as an absolute baseline for trust, the IRGC is attempting to leverage the pause in kinetic actions to break the economic pressure of the U.S. naval blockade, while signaling they are comfortable returning to an asymmetric war of attrition if ignored.
