I don't need to Google anything, I am an avid follower of British politics. Theresa may resigned but her resignation does not take effect until a new PM is elected and she hands over to him. So she is still the PM and will continue acting as such until the new PM is sworn in .

shadeyinka:

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.

You don't not use nuclear weapons unless it's being used on you first, there are rules guiding the use of nuclear war heads. so I find it funny how you include nuclear weapons in a possible conflict with a country that is not even a nuclear armed state.

I was expecting you to me how US will crack Iran's defensive position in her mountainous territory, how they will be able to handle the several battles that will spring up in the middle east, how they will be able to protect Isreal and Saudi at the same time confronting Iran, how they will be able to keep the strait of hormuz open, etc not some nuclear BS.

And spare me that Bullshit of minor arm on US, I read and understood what you typed clearly, and I will say again, you know nothing about any possible conflict in ME, US has thousands of troops in the middle east, if conflict breaks out, Iran will smash every single US base in Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia etc, all countries in the middle east are at the range of Iran's missile, not one is spared, not ONE. US won't even win a battle with Iran within a year, they have been battling Talibans for so many years now, what have they achieved? do you know how difficult it will be to conquer a nation like Iran, a nation of 80 million people who are proud of their identity and will do everything to fight foreign aggressors, do you know how mountainous Iran is and how difficult it will be to move tanks and equipment to Iran or do you think only airstrikes can make them bow?

Do you know what a conflict with Iran will do to US economy? the dollar will be effected, there will be inflation, world energy supply would be obstructed, is that what you call minor?

Guy abeg go read, no they fall our hand, you are sounding more funny.

Iran will only bite and swallow u when u bite them


And right now trump and America is butting them....just watch how they will bite back

We all know what happened in the late 80s just before the Iraq-Iran war, when Iran revolutionary army began a campaign of seizing and destroying foreign ships in the straits. Iran’s Navy was incapacitated by the US, Navy in the region.

The truth is that we all want someone tough to stand against the US but it comes at a great price. You may not know what the Iranian people are going through but their economy is the worst it has ever been in modern history, and this is just the beginning of more sanctions. We may see it as illegal or unfair, but it is a game of power and resistance. How long you are able to resist, and the nature of your opposition determines you survival. One thing is certain, there won’t be an all out war in the region but the pressure will continue even if Iran is willing to negotiate. Trump has a disdain for the leadership and Iran’s leadership hates and doesn’t trust the Trump admin. It’s a complex world in a funny circle.

Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons. The only country that has nuclear weapons in the region is Isreal. As for Saudi Arabia, I don't think they can withstand the Iranians in a war. The Saudis are lazy people without much achievement in science and technology. Unlike Iran, Saudi Arabia imports almost all his armaments from the US and Europe without actually producing anything. Iran has achieved a lot in science and technology. The country produces almost all its weapons system. It is a semi industrialized country which is why the Western world hates Iran because they always want countries they can control and dictate to as they are doing in Africa. For a proof of what I am saying, Iran has the largest automobile production capacity in the Middle East. The only two countries that are slightly ahead of Iran in the region are Isreal and Turkey. To prove me wrong do a little research on Iran scientific achievement and industrial productions.

grandlexuz:


You say your wish and think it is the reality. The US will never orchestrate a regime change in Iran. They don't have both the guts and means to do it. The Iranians might be fed up with sanctions and the regime but the US is an enemy to every Iranian.

rowland545:
I saw this coming


Iran don't issue threats without seeing of to it
The UK should have released their tanker when Iran asked them too.


Now they go release am by force.....I kinda like Iran though

imam07:
US done it in several countries, even b4 u were born. They did it in Libya, iraq, Afghanistan, Russia and many others. They are still doing it.

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.

Mikora:
Just watch as the timid Theresa may will fold like a chicken and do nothing

Chrisbeks:

US military capability has developed a thousand times better than it was during the Viet nam war. Don't compare those times to now. And what did you expect US to do to Iran for bringing down a drone? Bomb them? It was just a drone. If the Iranian so much believe in themselves, let them bring down one US manned aircraft or fire on the numerous US warships that are in the Persian gulf and see if they are not reduced to rubble. They won't try it though, they know the consequences of that

Trapping:



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.

ollah1:



Quit writing like a mentally deranged person, you concluded your tales that Iranians are suffering because you read on western backed information outlets. Secondly, saying muslims are supporting Iran against the US while appreciating the condemnation of Chrisitans against US speaks nothing but hypocrisy and lies on your side. Saudi Arabia, UAE and US are on the same page, why are the so called muslims supporting Iran against UAE and Saudi Arabia?

Damod88:




Iran won't do that just as the US won't do the same to Iran

hecomeshome:


Iran has made a serious mistake. The U.S asked the U.K to size the Iranian tanker based on mere suspicion, which was wrong. But this was done to provoke Iran, because they knew Iran would definitely respond foolishly.

kemicalreaction:
[s][/s] I'm a Muslim but I'm supporting Iran because of it's resistance to the big bully(US), not because I'm a Muslim. My support is not applicable to Saudi Arabia though. You should visit the likes of Quora and other media platforms outside the MSM. I used to gobble down their biased views on matters like this, until I did my own research.

Efewestern:


All I did was to counter your statement comparing Iran with Iraq or Libya.

If US was to Attack Iran, Both countries will bleed! Iran infrastructure will be badly damaged, but so many body bags will be heading to US, and this is what Americans won't accept. Unless you have a genuine reason to start a war with Iran, else the protest in Several cities will force US to end the war before it even starts.

I would have schooled you about how Iran's territory is a better place to fight defensive battles, but I really don't have time for that.

imam07:
This one nah idiot. It pains you because that is the bitter truth. Muslims support Arab countries against d US because they share d same faith. But in real sense, these same Muslims prefer living in United States. Bleep you if you disagree on this my analysis. Bleep you again because you are a fucking extremist like your brothers in d north. When they said Saudi Arabia can't withstand Iranian military, does that mean they are condeming Saudi Arabia? Mumu dey worry your brain. Why allowing your faith to determine your judgment. Nah people like u dey support RUGA because mostly it will favor your Muslim brothers. As I dey, I do talk out where US is fucking up against Africa but why people like you do not see anything good in America but you prefer going there. Can't you see u be goat.

Damod88:


Must one be a Muslim to support Iran? I support anti-imperalist forces around the world being it Christian, Muslim or aitheist. I hate countries bullying others just because the are less developed.

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.

grandlexuz:


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..

Do you know USA spends billions on intelligence and you think they not aware of all this you just said.if you behind a computer or a phone with limited resources can definitely they already know

Damod88:



Iran is not like Nigeria, a slave colonial country. Iranians believe they are equal to any people in the world while Nigerians believe they are slaves to Western countries. That is just the difference between Nigeria and Iran.

hecomeshome:


No, bros. We are not slaves.
Check history, and you will see that the Iranians don't learn from their mistakes. This is not the first time they would be seizing vessels. They have done it before, and the repercussions were massive, and they are still feeling the impact till date.

Laurene:
shut up Oga.. you Islamic terrorists sympathizers are really annoying, how much does Israel rely on USA for arms? shut it once again if you don't know what to say. Israel has been fighting theirs wars alone until the USA sawing their potentials and decided to make them allies. most of US weapons are made by Jewish Americans.

ponziponzi:


If you read about the Vietnam war, you will know that it’s not that easy my brother. In the course of the war, close to 60,000 US soldiers died with more that 350,000 injured. At a point they realised that there is no way they can win the war so they RAN away. The effect of that war is still been felt in the US today.

Iran is a difficult case, they recently shot down a US drone recently, the US did nothing.

Chrisbeks:

Are you the one that made the rule that you can only use nuclear weapons when it is first used on you? That's utter rubbish coming from you. The US can and will use their nuclear arsenal if the need arises and there's nothing anyone can do about it

Secondly, Israel is very much capable of defending herself against Iran or all their mushroom proxies. Which proxies? Hezbollah? You're a joker if you think they pose any substantial threat to Israel. The Israeli military is more equipped to defeat Iran itself and you're talking of their mushroom proxies

Thirdly for you to be claiming that Iran can smash all US bases in the middle east just shows how ignorant you are. The US is the dominant military power in the middle east as we speak. The military capability the US possess in the middle east right now far outsrips anything Iran has to offer so how on earth can Iran smash them? Iran will be bombed into smithereens if they ever try that

You talk about every nation in the middle east being within the range of Iran's missiles but common sense should tell you that should they try that, every country in the middle east will also start raining missiles on them too and how does Iran hope to survive that ? Fighting against the western military powers, Israel and all Arab States around them at the same time is nothing but a suicide mission for the Iranians.

Then you are talking of the US economy and the dollar. I think Iran should be more bothered about their own status because they will have no economy by the time the US is done with them. The economic threat you are talking of is not a threat to the US economy, it's rather a threat to the world economy. The US has enough in it's reserve to take care of themselves in situations like that. I repeat, Iran can only inflict minor harm to the US
