There's already talk of surrender by iran from military and political leaders

"(zh) will the chaos be contained, after iran unleashed missiles on at least five regional countries, including Israel? iran is quickly signaling that it's not willing to escalate this further, hoping for a halt in the U.S.-Israeli operation:

"iran is attacking U.S. military facilities in the middle east region and not 'Americans in their land,' iranian foreign minister abbas araghchi said in his exclusive interview with nbc news.

"he added that tehran was interested in de-escalation and ready to talk once the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes end.

"amid rumors that ayatollah ali khamenei could be dead, after direct strikes on his main headquarters in the capital, araghchi said that he is still alive 'as far as I know.

"araghchi is directly signaling the American side via an exclusive interview with nbc news. he spoke live from tehran saturday morning. he acknowledged that 'two commanders had died but senior officials in the regime had survived including the head of the judiciary and the parliament speaker.

"'all high ranking [sic] officials are alive,' he said. 'so everybody is now in its [sic] position, and we are handling this situation, and everything is fine.

"iranian defense minister Amir Nasirzadeh and islamic revolutionary guard corps commander Mohammed Pakpour were killed in Israeli strikes, according to two sources briefed on Israel's military operations and one regional source, cited in Reuters.

"as for finding the ayatollah, he is probably deep in a hidden underground bunker that no one but his closest irgc advisers know about. Americans need to be reminded that this is a country of over 90 million people and geographically is the size of half the european continent."

GRA: I've never seen pre-arranged "wars" before, which wrap up by the start of wall street trading on monday morning. that's what we have these days.
