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.

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.
