Dubai (AP): The spokesman of Iran's top military command said on Tuesday that its armed forces will fight “until complete victory.”

The comments by Maj. Gen. Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi of the Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters appeared to be related to US President Donald Trump's announcement that there were negotiations ongoing between Tehran and Washington.

Iran has denied that any talks areAli Abdollahi Aliabadi  taking place, though its foreign minister has been talking to counterparts around the region.

Iranian state television quoted Aliabadi as saying: “Iran's powerful armed forces are proud, victorious and steadfast in defending Iran's integrity, and this path will continue until complete victory.”

The general did not say what “complete victory” would look like, but it appeared likely Iran's military was trying to warn against offering concessions in any possible negotiations with the United States.
