The speaker of Iran’s parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated on Sunday that the United States is “secretly planning a ground attack” despite its public declarations that it is making diplomatic attempts to end war.
In a statement published by the official IRNA news agency, he added, “The enemy secretly plans a ground attack while publicly sending messages of negotiation and dialogue.” “”Our men are waiting for the American soldiers to arrive on the ground so they can finally punish their regional allies by setting them on fire,” he continued. Shortly after the Washington Post revealed that the Pentagon is getting ready for weeks-long ground operations in Iran, Ghalibaf made his remarks.
It is the job of the Pentagon to make preparations in order to give the Commander in Chief maximum optionality,” stated White House spokesman Karoline Leavitt in response to the story. It does not imply that the President has made a choice. The announcement coincides with a meeting of regional powers and Pakistan’s leadership to discuss ways to put an end to the conflict.
Top diplomats from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt arrived in Islamabad on Sunday for a two-day visit with the goal of negotiating an end to the conflict.
