Why this is a war America may find extremely difficult to win.
Sure, America has the upper hand when it comes to military tech. But Iran is surely no push over. Allied with China and Russia, Iran is also bordered by them and is the largest foriegn market for their weaponry. Neither Russia nor China will want to have America on their doorsteps which is why China keeps propping up North Korea as a buffer between it and the American allied South Korea. Russia also keeps a close tab on its border neighbors. Should any of the countries that border Russia even think of becoming allied with the US, Russia invades that country. We saw them do it to Georgia in 2008 and more recently, Ukraine. Russia and China will not hesitate to side with Iran against America should this conflict become hot.

Now, unlike Iraq and Afghanistan, Iran does have some bite behind it's bark. The thousands of yakhont missiles Iran possesses are enough to shut down shipping in the strait of homuz.

THE STRAIT OF HOMUZ AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT.
This strait is where a majority of the ships humanity depends for international movement of goods must pass. It lies very close to Iran. If this strait is filled with anti-ship mines, global shipping will be drastically reduced. Also, the strait lies very well within the range of thousands of Iranian artillery and missiles. Any American war vessel that finds itself within this strait, will be sunk. America may posses some of the finest anti ballistic missile technology there is, but none of them have been battle tested. The Patriot missile system is garbage. Iran has also recently purchased the most advanced aerial denial missile system in the world. The Russian built S-400. This system can engage and bring down simultaneously, around 96 different targets! The Americans have nothing close to this.

IN WHAT OTHER WAY CAN IRAN RETALIATE?
For one, the Iranians have a very advanced cyberwarfare department. Expect to see them attacking American electricity grids, banking systems and even healthcare industry.

The Iranians also have sleeper cells all over the world that can be activated to Target specific Americans. One such sleeper cell they had deep in Washington DC, was able to carry out an attack on a Saudi Arabian General that was on their list.

Expect the Iranians to also Target all Trump properties across the globe. These are legitimate Targets.

Iran has equipped Hezbollah in Lebanon with thousands of missiles. At Irans word, Hezbollah can launch these missiles into Israel. The iron dome anti missile system Israel possesses can't cope with such massive volume of incoming projectiles. Remember that 14 years ago, Israel and Hezbollah engaged in serious military combat. Israel could not defeat Hezbollah and a truce had to be called.

This conflict will likely become a war of attrition. Iran can afford to lose thousands of its soldiers. Can the United States do same?

In all, this was a poorly thought out decision by Trump. The world awaits the consequences.

Iran has declared war in a very old and traditional way. First time in centuries that they have hoisted the red flag. For them this means revenge and war.

Watch: First Time In The History of Iran, Red Flag hoisted Over The Holy Dome Of Jamkarān Mosque,Iran.
This is one of the most significant Mosques of Iran

Red Flag: A Symbol Of Severe Battle/War To Come.

What is written on the flag is "Ya Lisaaraat-al-Hussain". which translates to "Vengeance for Hussain('s blood)"

You forget america is strong because of the allies it has
Remove those allies and see how weak America is
Do you know who they killed?
A man feared by ISIS
He drove ISIS out of Syria and one other country
And you think they won't last in the war?
Or you think they won't get help from their neighboring Muslim countries?

I feel very sorry for Iran. They are too emotional. When the so called Soleimani was killing Americans they didn’t realize Americans will come for him or what?

I will advise them to go into audio war and leave it at that. America is very hungry and angry for war right now. Don’t even tempt them.

shocked



I entered the new year ejaculating, my mates were praying.
Someone said it is a bad omen.

They may be right if truly Iran wants to go to war.

Because by the time they are through with USA and Israel, some of us might not even have any semen left to ejaculate again.

I just hope they don't transfer some aggression on those holding ElZazaky because Trump has pushed Iran into Overdrive.
And this anger knows no mercy.

That is what I call a nation.
A country that knows when push has turned to shove.

If it was one country now, it's Minister of Communication would have since given a press release denying the death of any General.

While the Presidential media aide will say that the said General committed suicide just to apologize to the US.

Bad is bad.
I love the U.S of A but I stand with Iran.

The USA may likely destroy Iran but hundreds if not thousands of American and it's allies lives will be lost...
Will the relatives of such people be interested that America won?

What is my business? I am not living in any of those countries. I am just enjoying the show without the emotional baggages that comes with morality.\\

I am an Observer, I own no stakes in the war and fires no shot, so why should I carry the burden of witnessing the war?

I don't see in the news where a foreign government come into the USA to unleash a weapon. It never happen.

Why does the United state feel they can do that and get away with it?

Did Iran government ask for help before firing that drone?

How ever I you loom at it the United state are wrong.

Up until yesterday this was the first time I'm hear of that man.. And from images and videos I've seen he seem like a man who was loved by Iranian citizens.

Put religion aside. These Iranians are not cowards like Nigerian youths whose souls and minds have been caged by their oppressors. They are fearless and support each other, not like Nigerian youths who are selfish and self-centered. Forget it, let all US allies support her, Iran would cause a monumental havoc that US would forever remember.

See,they are not going to start calling Imams and Alfas or run to mosque for shelter, they would face the war together. They are ready to pay the price with their blood. If it were to be in Nigeria, religious houses would be full by now.

Nigerian youths, stop ranting. Drop your keypads and face your oppressors. Let them know the CHANGE they poised should start with them. Stop unnecessary arguments and flimsy issues that would not take the country to another level.

The War between them will never get here. You can read,watch and listen to news to keep yourself abreast of the latest development. However,don't watch others fighting while your house is not intact.
