In his most recent interview, Mohammad Sarafraz, the former chairman of Islamic Republic’s state TV, claimed that the United States is planning on attacking Iran after Ramadhan and the Islamic Republic officials have found out about it.

In an interview with Abdolreza Davari, one of the confidants of former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Sarafraz said that Mike Pompeo and John Bolton are seeking war with Iran. According to Sarafraz, the Islamic Republic officials “found out and a number of them say we must open the doors to negotiation and a number of them say the hard military response is the way.”

In recent days, the Islamic Republic officials, including the leader Ali Khamenei, have repeatedly talked about the threat of war.

The former president of state TV emphasized that the current corruption in the country and the discontent of Iranians has increased the chance of success for the U.S attack.

Sarafraz also talked about the corruption in his organization and claimed that his attempt at fighting this corruption coming from organizations such as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was why he was targeted and finally led to his resignation.
