You call that strait small..abeg open your geography book to see n read about it's importance.
Iran should never be allowed to possess nukes dats the game plan
If I did not know about it, I will not be commenting. Is a strait approximately 33km not small for 5000 men when Trump claims Iran has no navy? Before this war didn’t Trump claim to have taken away their nuclear capabilities through a bombing campaign? So which nukes again? The goalpost keeps shifting and it is giving Iraq vibes all over again.

Their hallucinations truly surprises me, but i don't pity them at all. Radical Islam is a Cancer and brutality is the cure
Christlike01:
Abegi, stop the hype. Your so-called “mighty” Iran is militarily overrated. As it stands, Iran is finished militarily, save for some missiles and drones buried in the rocky parts of the country. Those are the only things Iran has left, and that’s what the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is firing blindly in all directions just to hold on to the Strait of Hormuz.

The United States Marine Corps is already moving to make sure the Strait of Hormuz is no longer held hostage by a bunch of fanatics.
And if you think propaganda, empty threats, or cheap blackmail will scare Donald Trump away from confronting the Ayatollahs’ regime in Iran, then you clearly have no clue who you’re dealing with.

It is now that we believe that Trump is serious to dislodge the terrorist inspiring government of Iran.

Yes over a thousand of US army died but can you too give me the figure of how many Saddam Reuplican Guard that died then do the plus and minus? And at tthe end where is Saddam today and his entire generation? Wiped off.

Una go hear word by force..
Over a thousand is an understatement. You don't even know the figures you dey make noise. Over 4500 and those figures are highly suppressed. Iraq population is 46 million now compare that to 100 million Iranians. Na hell they will enter

If as many as 2000 will not return how many casualties will be on the side of Iran.
Don’t compare Americans with people who are not afraid to die oooo. Americans love life and enjoy. If 500 soldiers die, people go riot for America especially when they feel the war no concern them in the first place

It must be very sad being you.
How can any reasonable person say Iran is winning and try to justify it with false narratives and propaganda herehuh

I am against the war.

But for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The US should go all the way tongue

The Islamic regime would read your post and very laugh hard... grin grin
The iranian regime already already admitted that kharg island is not defended as it stands now.. America saw to it that they wiped out all defense there...taking The island would be a stroll in the park for the marines...


You people kept hyping the Islamic regime while many of them are already jumping ship and fleeing grin grin grin

We all would be here to witness the total and final collapse of the Islamic regime soonest.. grin
The American marine plans next is to take over Kharg Island. Then they will finish Iran from there asap..


Iran is just falling into this people plans. I don't know what is wrong with Iranian regime.

They just want to turn their once beautiful country into Iraq or Afghanistan.

How much is 5000 troops ? You know nothing bro, They are going to dig their graves and bury themselves in Iran, we are talking about guerilla and asymmetric warfare, you are talking about 5000 troops, Iran's terrains is so treacherous with tunnels and various structures . Even the Basij forces alone can mobilises to the tune of 2,000,000 in wartime. Yeye de smell . Go ask America their losses in Iraq, in terms of troops . They like to lie but we know. If you are smart, you cant be deceived by the US, in this era, where we gather OSINT( Open Source Intelligence) . Up till now, they are lying to save face and show the world they are invincible. Where we track live satellite imagery and military flights, the US is a joke .

US must change their approach b4 fighting another serious war. Conventional war pattern has changed.

They must quickly focus on producing mass cheap war weapons. Like cheap drones and interceptors, more advanced laser detectors, more ICBM and hypersonic missiles.

The Chinese, Iranian, Russians etc have built many cheaper and effective weapons.

If this war stretches to 3 more weeks or more, they will be waisting more than $3 trillion to sustain it.

Their 3 aircraft carriers in the sea can be destroyed in this war if care is not taken. They are just lucky that swarm drones and very fast Chinese anti ship missiles have not yet been launched at them.

Once strategic aim has been achieved, Trump needs to pull out of the war otherwise things will become more uncontrollable.
hmmm, @swarm drones The latest in AI, The LLM enhanced drone swarm has gone beyond research and testing. The power of GenAI, you shoot one down the others regroup and adapt to the situation to complete the mission. Scary part, GPS not even needed (forget about jamming), it makes use of Vision based Navigation (V-SLAM)


Thank you for your attention to this matter

Trump is too egotistical. After all the sweet mouth of finishing Iranian navy and their capabilities, why do you still need 5k troops for that small strait?

To be a soldier is not easy o, no wonder Fela called them zombie.
104miles (apx) is no small distance. And the Iranians are good at asymmetrical warfare.
You are talking about Iranians IRGC here. They are used to every corners of this strait. Remember, they’ve been planning for this for more than 40yrs. So, any Navy, particularly the US Navy trying to protect this route must put this into consideration..

I fully support Israel and the US.

UrVillageChief:
Now let's address this thing critically and without sentiments.
Two parties are fighting and while one is punching the other heavily, the one being punched keeps throwing sands into the eyes of those watching on the side lines (including his own supporters)
As the punching gets worse, he starts destroying the seats on which the spectators are watching from, saying he's doesn't care who gets hurt, that everybody is surely going down with him if the punching continues.
He does everything except facing the person beating him grin
Now the beater is trying to placate the spectators by mending their broken seats but the beatee keeps saying the whole venue must be burnt down grin

This is exactly what is happening in the middle East today.
Why is the US so caring that they are acting as if it's only the US and its supporters that are being affected by the blockage or are the Iranian Islamic regime's supporters getting free oil from Iran?
Are their Nigerian supporters buying oil at subsidized rates from Iran? grin
Why do they think Iran cares about anyone?
All I see here is that while one party only wants the fight and doesn't want to drag the whole world into the mess, the other party, having seen that he can't survive a conventional, man-to-man fight, has resorted to bringing the stronger party down by holding the world at ransom using the strait of hormuz and I ask again, isn't this what terrorists do and are we the sane people not being vindicated now that Iran is indeed, a terrorist nation?
So you legit want to give nuclear weapons to a country that's punishing everybody with oil just because it's getting pounded? Shey this one no go kpai you and everybody if him get the power?
If the shites aren't terrorists, let them leave the world out of this mess and face the US like honorable men with balls do. Ukraine and Russia are fighting it out like real men without trying to sabotage the world's economy to spite each other, Iran should do the same. It's the US that is pounding you, face them and leave all these cowardly hit-and-run tactics since you claim you aren't terrorists
.

YOU KNOW NOTHING AT ALL.
So when Ukraine and Russia started war. Didn't US & Uk sanction them? Chelsea football club was seized to an extent that Abraham movich has to sell it.
Now I am not supporting Iran for been a terrorist. At least think before going into war.
Would you accept it easily that a Security man shot ur family bcus your family has pistol or Cutlass at home?
I am a Christian, but let us show respect to fellow humans like us. Don't be RELIGION FANATICS.
I see most of you not reasonable enough ...
Did you know the meaning of terrorist?
Do u know you have them in your area?
Is Iran the only terrorist in the world?
What about other nations having nuclear weapon?
Has killing cult guys ever stop cult in society?
So imagine how many humans you will kill?

You seem more aware of the IRGC’s capabilities than Trump. When he speaks, I know he thinks this is a movie. I still maintain that it is a small distance compared to Trumps claims of all round superiority.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026/03/13/trump-sends-military-to-open-strait-of-hormuz-by-force/

Donald Trump is deploying 5,000 US marines to the Middle East to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Pete Hegseth, US defence secretary, has approved a request from US Central Command – which oversees American military operations in the region – to deploy part of a Marine Amphibious Ready Group, the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and the USS Tripoli, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The USS Tripoli was seen in the Bashi Channel, between Taiwan and the Philippines, on its way to the Middle East on Friday night.

Iran said it was closing the strait shortly after the United States and Israel began their attacks on February 28. Iranian strikes have since hit multiple vessels in the area including oil tankers.

Yesterday US officials reported that Iran had begun laying mines in the Gulf channel, which carries 20 per cent of the world’s oil.

The USS Tripoli was stationed out of Japan and would take around two weeks to reach the Mideast.
