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.

    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.
