Why talking like this. Can Iran even withstand Saudi Arabia?

Stop talking like a baby, The Arab military are damn weak, they have been battling to conquer the Houthi militias for so many years, yet nothing to show for it.

They just have latest military gadgets, but no strength and will power, it will be foolish to compare any of these Arab countries to Iran.

Abeg make the matter escalate well make crude oil price skyrocket so dat naija go make money through the sale of theirs.
Iran has improve in terms of science and technology, I could remember when dey where battling terrorism just like us here in Nigeria but look at what dey hv achieve so far from president Ahmadinejad who risked all to make Iran what it is, even US is afraid of direct confrontation with Iran because dey (Iran) are in possession of ballistic missiles, hundreds of missiles and air defense systems, multi purpose radar system dat can send chills down the US spine, Russia and China will not tolerate any direct attack on Iran as due to its strategic importance in the Middle Eastern region. I will advice Britain to release Iranian vessel dey cease and Iran will do dsame to them Shekina.

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.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.globalresearch.ca/we-re-going-to-take-out-7-countries-in-5-years-iraq-syria-lebanon-libya-somalia-sudan-iran/5166/amp

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.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMLFlOqt2nk

Guess what? grin 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. grin

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. grin

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? grin

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. grin

I trust the EU and some other Amerikan "eye-service" allies to declare neutrality when the bombs start flying. grin

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…. grin

Needless to say, all the uploaded videos of IED attacks, and all of many sniper videos were mysteriously deleted from YouTube. grin

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. grin

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) grin

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. grin

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. grin

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). grin

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. grin

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. grin

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. grin

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. grin

This long-awaited war will come inevitably and consume all the children of Satan in Washington, London, Tel Aviv, Paris & Riyadh.
These are words of a pained shia Muslim. Why not leave the Middle East politics and beg Buhari to release El-zazaky for you.
Keep urging Iran on.

Theresa May can’t really suppport Royal Navy because the operation they carried out in Gibraltar is Ilegal,as the Spanish said it was carried out on behalf of Americans just to drive Iranian oil export to zero which is very wrong
Thou Europeans have a sanction in place against Syria but Iran is not European member and Europeans don’t impose their sanctions on countries outside Europe
what make it worse is european are still in the nuclear deal and do not support US sanctions against Iran

But why conclusively bring Israel into the equation? Agreed, Iran is a threat to Israel but I think is is recklessly preemptive of you to link them up in the crises. What has been the response of Israel since this crises started?
From your tone, you are a Muslim AND you have just described the battle of Armageddon. It's a mix of Iron and Clay that will almost annihilate Israel when the time comes.

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.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Iran is taking the bait, and they will have no sympathy form their friends when crisis start.

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.

Oga forget that shyt, a country that can make nukes no be beans, An you seem to miss d fact that almost every country is waiting to pound on d US immediately they get weakened. I have no idea why people see the US as some supreme being. when it's just a congregation of humans like every other place. But whatever sha, this has nothing to do with Nigeria since we are still struggling to make pencils

Nobody is urging Iran up, you need to understand that Iran is a sovereign nation just like us and you want them to be attacked eeh? Did you hv any idea of what the region will look like if war blew out in Middle East eeh? All the allies of Iran (Hezbollah, Hamas, shia fighters all over in the region) will activate their terrorist attacks throughout Europe and America and Nigeria will not be exceptional since a shite cleric and leader is being held captive by a Fulani govt who is an extension of Sunni.

What will happen? UK and US will only blow hot air and later negotiate with Iran. Truth is, Iran is way too powerful to be toyed with.


The world is changing, people handle things with dialogue more, Iran is just like that little brother easing shoulder for his elder brother.

The elder brother will just look at him and laugh, because if him deal with am, their neighbors will tell him "don't u know he is a small child, learn to overlook him"..
