A top Iranian official has warned that the government is prepared for a long war with the US and signaled that it is willing to continue attacking Gulf countries in an effort to persuade them to convince Donald Trump to step back from the conflict.
The warning came in an exclusive CNN interview in Tehran with Kamal Kharazi, foreign policy adviser to the office of the Supreme Leader, who ruled out diplomacy for now and said the war would only end through economic pain – signaling a hardening of the government’s stance on day 10 of the conflict.
“I don’t see any room for diplomacy anymore. Because Donald Trump had been deceiving others and not keeping with his promises, and we experienced this in two times of negotiations – that while we were engaged in negotiation, they struck us,” Kharazi told CNN on Monday.
A ceasefire will eventually happen (hopefully sooner than later if we have no intention of trying to help clean things up).
But all signs are that this, like the last Iranian regime, isn’t one we really want to be negotiating with. fuckface is a monster and this entire war is about the epstein files and whatever netanyahu is up to right now. But leading into this? Iran was abducting (likely murdering) protesters by the thousands and that isn’t even all that out of the ordinary for them.
Iran is a lot more like North Korea where you don’t really negotiate or engage in diplomacy so much as you try to ignore each other because nobody is willing to do anything about the human rights abuse.
And considering frigging Poland is talking about getting nukes? There isn’t even much point in making concessions to prevent retaliation for the next war.
