Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke from Tehran in an exclusive interview with “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Llamas.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Thursday that his country is ready for a ground invasion by American troops as the war launched by the United States and Israel has quickly spread across the region. He also refused any negotiations with the U.S. and said that Iran had not asked for a ceasefire.
His comments came after the U.S. and Israeli militaries began a sweeping attack on Iran on Saturday, which decimated its military defenses and killed its top authority, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Lmao sure.
What was the last land war that the US won?
Only America could lose back to back wars in both of Iran’s neighbors and think they are invincible.
A land war against Iran would likely go like worse than Afghanistan, Iran has a trained paramilitary that is at a minimum 3 or 4 times the size the Taliban was at the peak of the war in Afghanistan, plus they have likely been trained based on the success of the Afghanistan.
Not only that, but only the most corrupt officials are going to be willing to run the puppet state, given it’s just a matter of time until the regime collapses and is replacing by something worse (and all it’s public figures are forced to flee or die).
Like sure the US could technically win a war, but by any reasonable definition the war won’t end until they leave in defeat.
Look at Vietnam, look at Afghanistan.
The US may claim at one point “Mission accomplished” but their soldiers may keep dying from IEDs, sniper and mortar attacks even a decade later…
Guerilla Warfare is highly effective against big forces like the US Military. We’ve had our asses kicked by Guerillas on a number of occasions, and so have others.
Seriously though. Even if the US military gets a foothold in Iran, they’re still never going to be able to supply enough forces to overrun a mountainous desert twice the size of Texas with 90 million inhabitants. Afghanistan is a piece of cake by comparison, and the combined forces of NATO failed to effect regime change there. Iran is a fucking fortress. America will lose, again, if they try to march on it. And that’s possibly what Netenyahu wants to see.
Or so I’ve heard.

Why is the distinction important in this case?
Is it reasonable to wonder if the official that isn’t speaking in their first language chose a slightly incorrect word?
“we can’t lose to shepards in the mountains we have air support”
