Khabaronline news agency in part of its report titled; “Mohsen’s brother; Activities in four areas; military, politics, economy and now diplomacy/ Rezaei can play an effective role in diplomacy this time” he wrote:
He studied economics and once during the 1400 elections he said that his thesis was related to money and credit and was accepted with a grade point average of 19. An issue that shows that Mohsen Rezaei, along with his political and military records, has tried to present his own views and plans with regard to economic issues. Although his complaint about the decline in the value and value of the national currency, by showing one thousand tomans in front of the TV camera, has been attracting people’s attention for years.
As he once reacted to people’s jokes in a tweet and wrote: “People jokingly say that we have not achieved our dreams, let us do something so that at least so-and-so achieves his dreams! Dear people of Iran, my wish is that no one in the country is poor; my wish is that the wealth of the country reaches your hands. My wish is peace, happiness and prosperity for all of you. My wish is your wish.”
But despite these issues, Mohsen Rezaei’s economic views have always been criticized. Especially since in the early 1980s, the 20-year vision document was written with his cooperation and accompaniment in the Assembly so that “Iran will become the first power in Southwest Asia in 20 years”, but this did not happen. On the other hand, his entry into Ebrahim Raisi’s government, as the economic deputy of the president, gave Mohsen Rezaei an opportunity to pursue his experience as an executive official in the field of economy. But in the end, due to the failure and incoherence of Raisi’s government in the economic field and the ever-increasing cost, as well as the difference in his approaches and solutions with Mohammad Mokhbar, the first vice president at the time, he resigned from his position.
Vance’s letter and Rezaei’s presence in Shaam’s office; War or negotiation?
After the martyrdom of Ali Larijani and the resignation of Mohammad Bagher Zulqader as the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, it was Mohsen Rezaei’s turn to be appointed as the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council by the decree of the president and to take over his representation in Shaam at the same time as the decree of the leader of the revolution. That too, in the situation where the shadow of war continues to weigh on the country and the Islamabad agreement had ended earlier than its legal term.
The Supreme National Security Council is the most important and the highest security institution of the country, the decisions of the system are reviewed and approved by its members, and after the signature of the leadership, it is announced to the relevant institutions for implementation. Therefore, the responsibility of the secretary of this council is not only limited to military issues and even social issues, internal politics, foreign policy and security relations with other countries are included in its scope of activity.
In such a situation, the addressing of Mohsen Rezaei by the Vice President of the United States, regardless of his legal status, becomes more important. If the decisions regarding the negotiations with the US should be reviewed and approved by an institution such as the Supreme National Security Council, and after the leadership signs the resolution, the foreign minister is tasked with fulfilling Iran’s positions as well as the country’s diplomacy.
From this point of view, Vance’s letter can be seen as an event that has once again put Rezaei in a different position than what the public thinks of him in the past years. He, who was the head of the Revolutionary Guards for many years, later became one of the political figures who is trying to participate in the presidential elections, now his name is tied in issues related to diplomacy and negotiations with America; Therefore, it should be seen whether or not Rezaei can play an effective role in diplomacy, considering his experiences in various fields.
