APNewsAlert: TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — #Iran includes 'acceptance of enrichment' in Farsi version of its ceasefire plan, something missing from English versions.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.

God Bless the Great People of Iran!

God help us.
