The U.S. President, Donald Trump has dismissed Iran’s claim that the country is ready for a potential ground invasion by American and Israeli troops. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said on Thursday that the U.S. and Israel should not try to invade by land, warning it would be a “big disaster” for them. Araghchi said,  ‘We are confident that we can deal with them.” However, when speaking to NBC, the U.S. leader said that Iran’s statement means nothing. “It’s a waste of time. They’ve lost everything. They’ve lost their Navy. They’ve lost everything they could possibly lose,”  Trump boasted. The U.S. leader again talked about his plan to shape Iran’s future, saying he already has someone in mind to lead the country. “We want to go in and clear out everything. He said, “We don’t want someone who would take more than 10 years to rebuild. “They need a good leader. There are some individuals I believe would perform well in the role.”

  Celtic manager, Martin O’Neill has shed light on why Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho has been struggling at the club this season. Iheanacho has struggled for regular playing game time since the start of the year. The 29-year-old joined Celtic during the summer transfer window after terminating a three-year contract with Sevilla after just a season.

But I think he’s got a good ability to hold it up,”  O’Neill told the newsmen. “It is just in terms of full fitness and things, that’s a bit of a concern.
