ednut1: Iran is heading towards destruction. The combo of israel, uk , saudi and USA go deal with them wella. Nevertheless its about time someone stood up to these bullies
imam07: what is hard nut to break? U better don't say what u dont know. Do u realize d rate at which Iranian citizens are suffering because of d US sanctions. Very soon US will bring down the present government and install their choice.
What about strong backlash from their citizens? People are not going to fall for this, everyone is tired of war and refugee crisis. Besides, who doesn't love Iranians.
Bro forget story. Iran lived 40 years under UN sanctions and survived it, in fact in those years they developed an efficient missile program. What makes you think they wouldn't be able to survive the US sanctions. Don't tell me you're listening to those 'misyarns' from British and american media.
America and Britain will do nothing, absolutely nothing. All trump will do is to mouth off. In fact the guy is not even mouthing off again against foreign adversaries since his bluff has been called over and over again.
Don't get me wrong, it is true that in an all out war American and Britain will defeat Iran, but the question is at what cost? I tell you US is scared to death to face Iran in any war scenario in the middle east - reason, america cannot fathom the costs of such war. So they can only sanction and sanction.
Sterope: What about strong backlash from their citizens? People are not going to fall for this, everyone is tired of war and refugee crisis. Besides, who doesn't love Iranians.
Iran lived under UN sanctions for over 10 years, (you know what that means? It means that the whole world sanctioned Iran) and they survived it. Why do you think the US sanctions will break them.
Normally, there citizens are way too patriotic and they understand the game the west is playing against them. In fact, citizens of most countries under US sanctioned almost always rally round there leadership and that's a way to show loyalty and patriotism.
between the two who get nuclear weapon & middle east allies pass
child talk. Make they use am nah. U think diplomatic disagreement means both should be fighting with nuclear weapons. Since u were born tell us how many nuclear weapons countries have shot to their enemy. Little conflicts like this, people will be shouting nuclear weapons as if when they are using ps4. Millions of dollars Iran suppose use to boost its economy. They are wasting it on unnecessary projects.
Iran is not that type of country that can give US problem. Their leaders are only risking the life's of its Iranian citizens because they think like terrorists whose the life of his people do not mean anything to them. If Iranian leaders value the life's of their citizens, they will not be taking all these risk.
These western countries are a bunch of imperialists, first Britain and the rest watch on as Iran is bullied by America, cry foul when Iran threatens to leave the nuclear agreement and Britain then seizes their tanker. What was Britain expecting?
Who is this one? Have you been living on Mars since 2000?

your knowledge of international politics isn't that strong...US, Saudi, middleasetern Arab countries and Israel are worried about Iran dominance in the region. That's why they are trying to check Iran's excesses. Iran is having a regional goal and the west feels Saudi should be the ones in charge in the middle east which is not really happening... The Syria war, Yemen war, Lebanon issues etc have Iran foot prints everywhere.... and the game changes instantly when a nation becomes a nuclear state, that's what US is trying to avoid.
Western Technology you say. You watch a lot of CNN and BBC. Iran is hard nut to crack. Trump and his allies all know that too well. Watch how the Iranian ship seized off Gibraltar be returned in days..
Hard not to crack my ass when just a few years ago they were under the protection of the United states against Saddam Hussein.

And how were they under the protection of US... because I know US broke diplomatic relations with Iran since 1979 after the Islamic revolution by Ayattolah

Nations need to stand up to western bullies as you said,they have destroyed many countries and killed hundreds of thousands through sanctions that often leads to starvation and death just because a country is not doing their wish or they don’t like the government.What they don’t know is the elite in any nation will never suffer They would destroy a country through sanctions and later blame its government meanwhile they themselves are doing the worse but getting away with everything Iran Should close the straiz if they don’t allow them to sell their oil
imam07: Making noise does not make u a strong person. Iran is an empty barrel just like North Korea. In modern generation, boasting of and displaying of numbers of your fighting weapons can't win war for you but the country with strong economic wins the war. US places sanctions on Iran. Can Iran place sanctions on united state? Yes or no. Where is North Korea now? The guy have stopped his noise of recent. Don't let countries that make unnecessary noise deceive you. Modern war can't be won with physical weapons but economic weapon.
Nwanne don't underestimate North Korea and Iran, especially Iran. the US people won't underrate them the way you're doing. when you hear of Persia, that's Iran. they are good at engineering and science, same with North Korea.
tommyken: Iran is falling into the traps this The war-mongers are setting for her. If I were the Iran leader at this time I would read the handwriting on the wall but would he do that?? No, because he want to appear strong not knowing the enemies he have chosen are Genocidal blood thirsty monsters ready to burn her to the ground and suck her blood to the last drop. I pity anyone who sees Iran action as sign of strength when in reality it is walking into a trap.
The three of you are a bunch of ignoramuses. Go and get informed before you quote me again with your ignorant posts. Theresa May is still the British Prime minister

Either u are sleep walking or u are day dreaming! May I ask how old are u? Even back in the 80s during Buhari regime, the British sized one of our aircraft and we sized theirs too, they released ours immediately. It may interest u to know that their aircraft is already in the air and our gallant air force flew over them with the warning that the will be shot down if they fail to turn back and land. Verify the info my kid
Akathriel: The "Belligerent Bastard Children of Yahweh in Tel Aviv" have issued instructions to their "stooge goys" in Washington and London to start another kosher war.
These whores always do as they’re told by their Zionist masters in Tel Aviv. They have been escalating step by step as instructed leading inevitably towards war.
Economic strangulation is an act of war.
Seizing the Iranian tanker off Gibraltar is an act of war.
Encroaching on Iranian Airspace with your useless "Stealthy Drone" is an act of war.
Conducting cyber warfare against Iran is an act of war.
Sponsoring MEK terror against Iran is an act of war.
Not that they have been particularly coy or surreptitious about this. There have been threats to “obliterate” Iran both from Tel Aviv and the Jewnited Snakes of Amerika virtually on a daily basis for the past 20 years.
Trying to pretend otherwise or spout hot air about “diplomacy” or “restraint” is an exercise in futility. You don’t wait for a rattlesnake to strike.
It’s not a question of if there will be a war, the war has already begun. It actually began quite a while ago. That’s the reality of it.
Ever since General Wesley Clark (Retired 4-Star US Army General & Supreme Allied Commander of NATO) revealed the plan to take out 7 Countries in the Middle East & North Afrika beginning with Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan & ending with Iran, the war-mongering bastards have been cooking up series of false-flag just to justify the invasion of Iran like they did to Iraq.
In 2007, Dick Cheney, Amerikan Vice President in the Bush Administration, wanted to "stage" an attack on an Amerikan warship - using Amerikan personnel dressed as Iranians in small vessels resembling Iranian patrol boats - to justify a war with Iran.
Guess what? They did it in 2019 by attacking two "Japanese Tankers" in the Iranian Strait of Hormuz while the Japanese PM was in Tehran having a coffee with the Iranian leadership.
And when the Amerikan bastards saw that the entire world did not buy the false-flag, they activated "Plan B" - Flying a completely "Useless Drone" in Stealth Mode to encroach on Iranian Airspace - and the $220 Million flying coffin was shot down by an outdated Air Defense System.
If not that Trump and his fellow perfumed-military Generals are bereft of a fully functioning human brains, why would Iran decide to attack two “Japan-related” tankers while the Japanese head of state is in their country?
One thing is certain; This war that is itching Amerika in her belly, is coming - and will be very expensive in body bags going back to Amerikan cities, ships and aircraft littering the sea bed and land, all around the Gulf and up to the Mediterranean and Caspian - leading to the eventual collapse of the United Snakes of Amerikan.
I trust the EU and some other Amerikan "eye-service" allies to declare neutrality when the bombs start flying.
The Arab tribes of Iraq, from 2003 onwards gave the Amerikan occupation forces in Iraq hell. 14 out of the total 16 battalions of the Amerikan military were effectively bogged down with no end in sight.
They were chasing insurgents who chose where and when to hit, armored columns were shredded by daisy chained IED’s and the children of Saddam Hussein (Iraqi snipers) were instilling terror into the hearts of Coalition troops….
Needless to say, all the uploaded videos of IED attacks, and all of many sniper videos were mysteriously deleted from YouTube.
Syria is already organizing the Arab tribes, … their final declaration was ominous for any occupiers. They promised to evict the Amerikan military and expel lackey Kurds. Interestingly enough, even Iraqi tribal leaders showed up at the last big conference in Syria.
Amerikan, British, French and SDF Kurds will bleed volumes in (Northern) Syria. The fighting will be close and personal. (Because) Arab and Iranian fighters have learned how to negate air power.
It's an old Soviet tactic, used especially at Stalingrad, nicknamed by the Soviets "to grab and hug the enemy". When Air Forces cannot engage effectively, equivalent of losing your queen in chess right at the start.
In 2006, using this tactic to neutralise Israeli air power, 3000 Hezbollah fighters stopped 75,000 Israeli IDF troops and two armored battalions. 44 out of the 400 Israeli Merkava MBT’s were totally destroyed. In essence, the Israeli forces were not even able to hold even the smallest of Lebanese border villages.
Iranian "General Salami" recently made a trip to Syria, and said ” There is a whole Islamic Army ready to engage in total war against arrogant powers".
Iran has brought in about 40-50 thousand Afghan volunteers; there are also Chechen volunteers in their thousands (who routed the Ukrainian military in 2015 in the Donbass, who fight much like Hezbollah, and are hard lethal in artillery. Just ask the Ukies)
There are tens of thousands of hardcore Iranian Basij volunteers, and the Basij number around 17 million in Iran, so there will be no shortage of volunteers.
There are Pakistani’s, Malaysians, Indonesians, along with many thousands of former terrorists who have been re-educated, who now know who the real enemy is, and are ready to go.
This is why I laugh when I see teenagers on Nairaland whose brain are yet to fully develop - in their ignorance, rush to comment on Geo-political issues which even their fathers at home know absolutely nothing about, except digesting whatever they watch on CNN & BBC (no offense meant).
Times have changed and this will be a different war. Their (Amerika, UK and France) small bases and limited troops in the Middle East will quickly be overrun and taken prisoner if they are lucky enough not to be annihilated.
I trust Mother Russia to condemn the warring parties and suing for peace with her mouth while covertly supplying Iran with her sophisticated & state-of-the-art military gears that will take Amerika back to the stone age.
And then, we have China, who regards Pakistan and the Iran-Iraq-Syria-Lebanon (“Arch of Stability”) as an integral, vital and indispensable part of its crucial and gargantuan OBR Silk Roads.
The Chinese have already linked up Pakistan and Iran, soon they will link up Iraq and Syria. The Chinese are also building a massive port in Lebanon, and plan on building another massive port in Yemen as soon as the Houthi’s prevail.
China looks forward to "US&Co" being expelled from the region. and will supply the forces of the "Axis of Resistance" with all the cheap, yet very lethal weapons needed for this most important endeavor.
This long-awaited war will come inevitably and consume all the children of Satan in Washington, London, Tel Aviv, Paris & Riyadh.

North Korea is an isolated nation you don't hear anything from. I tried to track a NK radio signal from an online radio and got none which I could on even extremely small countries. The only time you hear the supreme leader speak is when the US is threatening. The US has stopped that recently after about two failed meetings.
