RNA - "After four years in office, Tillerson will come to understands Iran," Rezayee, also former commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), wrote on his Instagram page on Friday.

Rezayee's remarks came in reaction to Tillerson's remarks who voiced support for Iran's opposition "in peaceful transition of political power in the country".

Tillerson claimed that peaceful transition of power is tantamount to exerting pressure from outside, including intensifying sanctions, and penetrating in the establishment in a gradual manner.

"Mr. Tillerson's mistake is that he has ignored the role of people and the leadership in Iran. Tillerson who has been a business over past 40 years and has not information about Iran's incidents were come to Iran after his four-year serving as US Secretary of State.

Washington's claims that Iran’s missile tests are in breach of Resolution 2231, which was adopted in July 2015 to endorse the nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers, including the US.

However, Tehran has repeatedly said that its missiles are not capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
