American president joe Biden warning ⚠️ to Iran when they wanted to attack Israel with missiles directly. Was DON'T. But they went ahead and launched the missiles cuz of Russia and Chinese supports. I like the retaliation. At least Biden is not going down alone without taking someone with him. Just like every American president. This should Serv as a big lesson to China and Russia. They may be next in line 😞🤔🤔

Your references to medieval wars of conquest is quite laughable. There was a time in history when you can kidnap a woman and maker her your wife, why don't you try that now?

So when exactly do u draw the line? The map of d middle east was drawn around a hundred years ago, that's not too long ago in timeline of history. Contrast whatever I said. How fair is it to allow Arabs keep d lands they stole and conquered in war cos it happened many years ago and refuse others, after all 1948 and 1967 is also many years ago

You don't understand. Persia is majority Shia. Sunni Muslims make up to 85% of their religion, with Shia and their offshoots like Alawites( Assad sect in Syria) making up the rest.
Shia and Sunni have 1400 years of rivalry. The war will never stop until one sect obliterates the other.
Iran is Shia headquarters.
The two sects only get together when fighting non Muslims. Read Shia Iran arming Hamas.When they are done, they start killing each other.
The worst sectarian strife between the two in recent times was when the Iraqi ( majority Shia) al-Askari Shia shrine was bombed by Sunni Al Zarqawi father of ISIS in 2006.
Iran regional hegemony is a Shia vs Sunni supremacy war.Iran arms Shia Hezbolla destabilizing Lebanon formerly Christian majority country. They arm Houthis who are Shia fighting Saudi supported Sunni in Yemen.
Iranians themselves don't like their clerics but cant do anything as they are too entrenched. Thanks to Jim Carter for overthrowing the corrupt Shah regime and France for harbouring Khomeini did Iran formerly very permissive society retrogress into a dysfunctional theocratic state.Today many Iranian are pro western culture and defiant but are culturally held back by their clerics and Basiji militia.
Iran has a higher percentage of women than men in their Universities.Human Rights Watch said. Since the 1990s, more than 60 percent of Iran’s university students have been women. If it was not for the mad mullahs, Ayatollahs, Imams and Mauluvis It would rank among developed nations. Iranians are not Arabs, they are Persians , their language is Farsi.
Iran during the Shah.

All the Arab states in the middle east are a product of the collapse of the Ottoman empire in 1922. The allied powers Britain and France and Italy occupied Constantinople and implemented the Sykes-Picot agreement which divided d Ottoman empire along their s of influence. It was d allied western powers mainy Britain and France who drew up the borders of these modern Arab states, that was a hundred years ago. Go and find out if there was any vountry called Saudi Arabia or Jordan or Qatar in 1900. Don't drag me to give u a lesson in modern history which u won't pay for. BTW hope u now admit Arabs are not indigenous to Africa, that they were land grabbers and usurpers and therefore occupiers.
