Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, said on Monday that Iranian forces had been “waiting for the arrival of American troops on the ground” so they might “set them on fire and punish their regional partners forever.”
The remark got here after Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said that Tehran had been given U.S. President Donald Trump‘s 15-point proposal.
Baghaei added, however, that there have been no direct negotiations between Tehran and Washington so far despite Trump’s claims to the opposite.
In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump hinted at an end to the battle, revealing that the U.S. is “in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME.”
The president did not present further particulars about the new regime, including who the gamers are and how they could wrest energy from the present regime — which is headed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in the initial strikes by the U.S. and Israel against Iran on Feb. 28.

A army knowledgeable told GWN that “talks of peace negotiations and the war coming to an end are simply not credible” and, at best, are “very premature.”
“Within a week or so, you probably will see ground forces being introduced into the battle, so there’s no way you can say this is heading towards an off-ramp or peace,” Malcom Davis, a senior analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, told the outlet.
Trump vows to ‘utterly obliterat[e]’ Kharg Island
In that same Truth Social post, Trump vowed to “completely obliterat[e]” Kharg Island, outlining two situations to forestall such motion — Iran must “immediately” reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and it must attain a deal with the U.S. “shortly.”
“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet ‘touched,'” Trump wrote.
The motion, he said, “will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year ‘Reign of Terror.'”
Kharg Island assault may backfire on US as Trump weighs co-opting oil terminal
Davis warned that army motion against Kharg Island may backfire spectacularly on the U.S., however, ensuing in quite a few casualties.
Iran has been taking precautionary measures to defend Kharg Island, including laying traps and shifting further army personnel and air defenses to the area in current weeks amid Trump’s threats.
Trump’s Monday morning post got here shortly after an interview with The Financial Times was revealed, which featured Trump discussing the co-opting of Kharg Island’s oil terminal.
“Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump told the newspaper. “It would also mean we had to be there [on Kharg Island] for a while.”
The president added that Iran had agreed to permit 20 ships carrying oil through the Strait of Hormuz to move through beginning on Monday and persevering with over the next few days “out of a sign of respect.”
“I would only say that we’re doing extremely well in that negotiation, but you never know with Iran because we negotiate with them and then we always have to blow them up,” Trump said.
