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.
I mean, yes… but that’s been the case for a long while now, and we’re just now attacking Iran. Part of me wonders, was the Epstein situation just enough of an incentive for them to throw the ol’ war bone to their party? They needed a distraction, and per your own description, this was a perfect distraction. To me, it seems like the Epstein situation simplified the decision making process for them. Perhaps without Trump, that situation becomes, again, too complex for any one of them to follow through on?
I don’t think Epstein is that big a factor in this. Maybe, for Trump personally but there’s bigger ideological motivations. The autocratic/fascist people behind Trump get a lot out of this, at least they think they will. They will attempt to suspend elections and put more power into the presidency. They don’t care who is president because that person will be beholden to oligarchs.
Then, you have the right evangelical end of the world loonies who are also influential in this.
Distraction or not I believe they were going to pick a fight with Iran anyways. Maybe if Trump never got his 2nd term war could have been avoided but his first term showed he was very willing to fuck with Iran regardless of his Epstein connection. I think now that war has begun the USA is locked in regardless of who ends up as president after trump. Even if it’s a democrat.
