Ghalibaf says Iran is ‘waiting’ for arrival of US troops
The speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said in a statement on Sunday that Iranian forces are preparing for a U.S. ground operation despite ongoing diplomatic maneuvers.
“The enemy openly sends messages of negotiation and dialogue and secretly plans a ground attack,” Ghalibaf said in a message addressed to the Iranian people on the 30th day of the war, the semi-official ILNA news agency reported Sunday.
Ghalibaf said that Tehran will continue its regional attacks, adding that the Iranian military is “waiting for the arrival of American soldiers on the ground to set fire to them and punish their regional partners forever.”
“These days, we hear different words and statements from enemy officials about negotiations. America expresses its desires and announces what it has not achieved in the war as a list of 15 points and seeks them in diplomacy,” Ghalibaf said.
“As long as the Americans seek Iran’s surrender, your children’s response to these American aspirations is clear: ‘We will not accept humiliation,'” he added.
