The thing is, while technology is suppose to make people more smarter, it ends doing the exact opposite. Many people are viewing the world through a close mind and one that is clouded by some form of sentiment.

Around 637 CE the Rashidun caliphate capture Jerusalem but they allow Christian, jews etc to live freely and go about their business in exchange they pay tax, churches where protected..

Fast forward to the year 1099 when the crusaders recapture the city, history reports that it was a massacre. Bodies pile the street, jews, Muslim and even some eastern Christian were not spared, it was one of the most violent recorded history.

The again in 1187 Saladin recapture the city and Christians where allowed to leave.

Now that is recorded history and one fool here was telling me because he was a Muslim for 20 he is now an Islamic expert or historian.
Religious indoctrination succeeds where people with low IQ and timid mindsets exist.

There is a reason why God no let muslim nations to be superpower. highly dangerous set of people. See jihad in Nigeria, see unrest all over the world.Can muslims allow christian-chriatian ticket in Nigeria? They will unleash jihad on Nigeria. You now want this set of people to have the most dangerous weapon ever created by man. Israel is around 10million people,one tsar nuclear bomb will wipe them off. North Korea doesn't threaten anybody, nothing like death to America or death to south Korea.
Your reasoning is very warp and laced with acidic bigotry.

Pakistan is a Muslim nation with nukes, how many jihad has it declared? How many times, if any, has Pakistan shouted "death to America" or "death to Israel" in spite of the insidious crimes those two have committed and still committing against fellow Muslim states across the region?

Now answer this: between Muslims and Christians who have committed the most heinous crime against humanity since the modern world began?

Historical context shows that christian-majority nations and western civilization accounts for the most devastating wars and destructions the world has ever known.

The two World Wars that led to
the deaths of about 100 million people, were not started by Muslim nations. These were conflicts ignited and fought primarily by Christian states in Europe, using advanced tech to wipe out entire generations. From the trenches of WWI to the horrific scale of the Holocaust and the firebombing of cities in WWll, the West has a history of violence that far outweighs anything both past and present Muslim life and religious antecedents entails. Folks like you should cover their face in shame, and not bring religion as a yardstick of measuring right and wrong in geopolitics and realpolitiks.

When it comes to the "most dangerous weapon ever created," you should remember that the only country that ever use nuclear bombs on a civilian population was a Christian-majority nation---the United Snakes of Abomination. The destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki showed the world that the West was willing to use total annihilation to achieve its goals.

So, If we are talking about who has the tendency to or has done the most harm to humanity on a global scale, the facts points directly toward the West and its historical Christian foundations rather than the Muslim world.

I hope this clears your ignorance.

And before you shout "you're a Muslim", know for sure I'm a born and bred Christian speaking facts just as the bible said every true believer should.

⚡Fertilizer prices are also skyrocketing following the closure of the straits.

Roughly 30%-35% of the world’s fertilizer passes through the Straits of Hormuz.

Food prices will increase two fold with higher energy and fertilizer prices.

Russia controls 20% of the market, if Hormuz is closed it becomes 31% of the market.
What is 35%? For example, 67% of Urea fertilizer, a major fertilizer used globally comes from the Persian Gulf. The absence of this fertilizer will trigger higher costs especially in poorer nations.

So, the US and IAEA planned release of 400 million barrels of oil from emergency reserves will amount to nothing considering that other factors like fertilizers will still drive up food and production costs globally. The Trump administration is learning now why the strait of Hormuz is Iran's equivalent of a nuclear bomb.

If the strait remains close for the next two weeks, protests will start hitting major cities across the west.

I understand how the bomb works. What’s confusing is an explosive blast below 60 meters destroying surrounding buildings and a structure close to the roof. It doesn’t matter what the roof is built with, if a structure close to it is destroyed, it shouldn’t be Structurally intact, it should be distorted in some way.

The protective structure is really close to the roof, this is the most confusing for me.

Am not an engineer but I know what an explosive blast is, I’ll just go with it’s a doctored picture or you don’t have enough information on this.

Saudi Arabia too weak.

U no go believe say dem dey on the opposite end of the Strait of Hormuz.

Yet dem no fit cough. Only Iran dey call the shots.
Satan Arabia cannot physically unblock the strait from their opposite side because the strait narrow course for larger ships only runs directly across Iranian maritime control lines.

The only thing Saudi can do is to circumvent the blockade by directly exporting oil (5-7 bpd) through the red sea. Unfortunately, that cannot replace the 17-21 millions bpd that usually goes through the strait. Moreover, the Houthis are waiting for them on the other side of the sea. A simple call from Tehran would instantly set the pipelines on 🔥.

So, in all angles, Iran had them by the balls. cool

I was really surprised by this because it proves that Iran's first stage layered defenses did a good job, and all the enemy's calculus about Iran's AD size, the ones destroyed and available are way, way wrong. Iran truly prepared for a long haul.

After absorbing the initial massive strikes from the hegemon and its pet project, wasting a larger proportion of their ammos, it make sense to now bring up the real defense systems that would make it easier for Tehran to curtail the enemy's strikes. Also, this entails Iran is preparing for something massive---something that could trigger huge repercussions or so.

We haven't seen the last of this war yet. There is more surprises to come.

so the gulf can say and do whatever they like, and they have to swallow the insult

-Lord
The mending really drove some sense into them.It has become obvious to some of them that, Iran isn't just the only endgame for the enemy. For the US, Tehran might be, but for the genocidal vipers, the entire Middle East is the ultimate price---use one stone to kill ten birds. That's why they've tried to drag the Gulf states into the fray by carrying out false flag ops. So far, things haven't yielded fruits.

This is the moment Iran need to step onore on the firing pedal. Beat the genocidal vipers to a pub. Get as much tears as you can get from their geopolitical eyes. Now that the US is in no position to defend Israel the way it should, hammer their strategic assets like mad until the yahooboy begs for a ceasefire. In fact, I want a situation where the IRGC should make it a matter of state policy and strategic interest to eliminate Netanyahoo, whether now or in peace time. Otherwise, this occultic man won't stop coming back for blood and destabilization of the region. His death will not only send shockwaves across the Baal worshipping Zionist and Evangelicals who thinks they can force Jesus to come against His will, it would also set a perfect deterrence against future assassination of heads of states by this occultic groups.

As for the US, remember we said it here that a big disgrace awaits them. Well, we have seen it today. This war has not only exposed the delusion that underlines their global primacy over the years, it further exposed the weakness that comes with US military overextension and the danger it poses to host nations. I'm confident that, when this war wraps up, some of the ME states will rethink their commitment to US security cooperation and partnership. While some might not do away with it altogether, aligning with other peer powers especially from a rival club, would become almost impossible to resist. This is where BRICS, the SCO led by China and Russia comes in to play. This war is a blessing to this groups. The US have dealt itself a strategic geopolitical defeat, the consequences of which would be felt later on after this current show of disgrace draws to a sadistic but face-saving close.

In an interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Sunday, Trump said, “There’s nothing to be afraid of, they have no Navy, we sunk all their ships… and all but 20% of their launchers.”
