In response to Iran’s foreign minister saying that the country was waiting for a US deployment of ground troops amid Operation Epic Fury, Trump told NBC News that such a move for the US would be a “waste of time.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Wednesday that Iran is “waiting” for the US ground strike because they are confident that it “would be a big disaster for them.”
NOW – Reporter: “Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country?”
Araghchi: “No, we are waiting for them.”

Trump said that this was a “wasted comment,” adding, “It’s a waste of time. They’ve lost everything. They’ve lost their navy. They’ve lost everything they can lose.” He said that the pace and intensity of strikes on Iran would continue.
