Foreign AffairsRe: Israeli Airstrike Hits Entrance To Tehran’s Evin Prison(photos) by basilico: 3:27pm On Jun 23, 2025
alizma:
Now I know why it seems Israel has not been doing much all the while, they were just waiting for the potential threat of nuclear weapon to be taken away and just in about 24 hours that it was achieved, they have hit six Iranian airports and now the prison. They want to destroy the country from within, using the enemies(political prisoners) of the government. May peace prevail in all these happenings.
Khamenei has fired over 300 ballistic missiles to Israel.
I suppose you think the missiles are construction equipment to build up Israel real estate.

Israel has attacked Evin Prison in Iran. Every regime critic gets jailed there .
Khomeini murdered between 4000-5000 prisoners in 1988 at Evin Prison.
I reckon a lot of people n Iran have someone close jailed there.
IDF blew up the gates.
If they blow up the walls and prisoners escape that's double headache.
They shoot the escapees and there will be massive protests.
IDF has also bombed the police and IRGC headquarters recently.
Very smart move in my opinion releasing govt critics to the streets.

Foreign AffairsRe: What If Israel Decides To Fire Their ICBM Into Iran Just As Iranians Are Doing by basilico:
DiasGodinHeaven:
I laugh hard when I see Nairaland terrorist supporter's like MADRIDGUY counting the numbers of building destroyed in Israel via the indiscriminate firing of ballistic missiles by the terrorist Iranian regime.
These fulls forgot to ask themselves a very simple question, which is, what if Israel aims is to annihilate Iranian population and flatten their buildings who would have stopped them?
The Iranian airspace has been conquered by the Israeli Air force, Israel set up a drone factory in Tehran before the fight.
Israel is killing their target's without collateral damage.
So these fulls in Nairaland should know that if Israel mission is to annihilate Iran, by now na only 50 people for remain in Iran.
For the record, outside nuclear bomb, Israel have Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) which can touch any country of the world.
Israel has once again defeated Iran after defeating their proxies.
Congratulations to Israel
Congratulations to Trump
God bless Israel
God bless Trump
God bless Nigeria
Foolish question. Terrorists have been given a carte blanche to perpetrate any crime imaginable against Israel , the west and other religions..
They are excused as following an extreme ideology.
Iran and Israel enemies are allowed to shoot any projectile into Israel without any mention of war crimes.
Israel has ballistic missiles that it can rain on Iran , if it misfires ... War crime, genocide etc the western media will amplify the Iranian press TV.
Just as IDF is firing missiles through window A and not window B on the same floor , should it miss ... Murder of innocents.
Iran and all it's proxies fire missiles into Israel targeting anything, which if it's not intercepted by Iron dome , they claim victory.
We should be brave enough to call Iran, it's proxies, ISIS etc one simple word. Retards.

Iranian media:

Mohammad Amin Mahdavi Shayesteh, accused of working for Mossad and carrying out missions for it inside Iran via electronic networks, has been executed .

Why do those Muslim nations love showing off persons about to be executed or the actual execution. That's so medieval. The same countries who parade hostages on TV begging their host nations to make efforts to free them. Saddam did that, Hamas does that, Pakistan does that.

Feedthenation

When USAF attacked Iran they sent 6 B-2 bombers westwards to Guam on the Pacific , refuelled shortly after take off suggesting they were fully loaded with the GBU-57 MOPs.Iran thought they would take hours if at all they were actually on a bombing Fordow mission.
Meanwhile the actual B-2s which did the bombing flew eastwards stealthily across the Indian ocean and delivered the payloads.

I'm thinking,the money used to fuel the 6 decoys, should it not have béen sent to the starving Palestinians in Gaza?

Abeg leave all this your story for tortoise. Jews are perfectly fine in Iran so fine their population went from almost 100k under the Shah to less than 10k now.

Anyway where was this smoke for Barack O'bomber. The greatest bomber of all time whose damage in Syria, Yemen and Libya is still visible till today

TDS has made you people embrace all types of illogic. You really think a Democrat president would not side with Israel in this war as well?

And yes stop Simpin for the Mullahs. Nothing good has ever come out of it and if you think I'm lying ask the Commies in 1979 what was their lot
His logic is . There are Jews in Iran which is proof the Ayatollah don't hate Jews.
Their attacks in Israel are because Palestinians don't have a separate state not because they want Israeli obliterated. (Despite the Ayatollah saying so to every microphone he sees).

---High oil prices---high inflation and recession---trade tariffs still not resolved---all as a direct result of Felon 47 being tagged 'a wartime president'---

---Now it gets interesting both Russia (Felon 47 Zaddy) and North Korea (Felon 47 love letter writer)---are ready to supply Iran with nukes---
Noone is using nukes any time soon, it's only the Ayatollahs who have a reason.
Russia is begging for sanctions relief , EU ,war hawks & MIC wants the Obama mess in Ukraine to. continue indefinitely. Russia sells nuclear fuel to America till a few years ago, it's only the greed by the west to remove Putin.
Don't forget Iran is shortsighted and foolish , they think a nuclear bomb will allow them to bully their main rival Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia financed Pakistan nuclear projects leading to the bomb. If Saudi wants a bomb , Pakistan will ship one pronto.
Iranians thought overwhelming Iron dome would result in mSs casualties in Israel .They gave Hamas and Hesbolla training,money and weapons to hit Israel with thousands of missiles at a go. Iron dome missile costs $50000 while the rockets can go as low as $500 -1000. Iran thinks thousands of ballistics fired at Israel will eliminate the state.More foolishness.
More foolishness from Iran. They think closing the Strait of Hormuz will endear them to west hating countries. Every consumer of oil wants cheap energy,every producer wants better prices but guaranteed supply chains. 80% of their oil goes to China ,they won't be pleased at all.
More foolishness. They will attack American bases. America navy abd airpower next door is several times more and mightier than theirs. With air superiority a single division can march all the way to Tehran and topple the Ayatollahs.

--I presume you pray for Iran
-- success because that

Iranian parliament votes to close the Strait of Hormuz. 20-30% of the world oil transits through . They were threatening high energy prices .
Let them dare
The oil rich cc countries may hate Israel but they love their oil, they may be happy with diminished supply and a price hike but this is only for short term.

Saudi, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Oman .

In any case they are able to ship oil because America keeps the shipping lanes safe .

The Ayatollah as usual is above parliament, he will give go ahead. He says no, and it remains a No ..

(Mossad tricked through telelphone calls 20 Iranian Generals to a meeting at a bunker. None of them bothered to confirm because they dare not question or doubt the Ayatollah. They all met ,and IDF blew up the bunker)

You understand missiles or blast radius in general.

Just calling a missile "hypersonic" doesn’t mean it has a large blast radius, rather, it’s the warhead that determines that. Some may not even have a war head. China claimed to have hypersonic missile with nuclear war head. That said, the missile itself is not large enough to cause significant damage solely through kinetic energy.

The real danger of missiles like this comes from the shrapnel that flies in all directions as a result of the blast. Debris from the earth as well as materials from the missile itself. This shrapnel is what can cause damage to windows, cars and buildings far away from the blast area. If people are not in the line of sight of the blast, they will almost always remain safe.
Bemeruca. Hypersonic missiles are a different animal. Their trajectory is not straight forward like a ballistic missile. They dance and wiggle like WizKid. They are not as fast as ballistic but are highly maneuverable
In a bomb the shockwave is a big killer, the blast wave compresses the air rupturing internal organs The fragments also kill and maim a lot of people. The blast wave also flings victims causing trauma deaths.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 3:29pm On Jun 22, 2025
nateevs:
Please stop this nonsense. Iran has been developing the hypersonic missiles for decades. They, along with people like myself, have been very well aware of what they can do with those missiles.

They could send 3000 hypersonic missiles to Israel in a surprise attack and completely wipe off the place. Iran never needed a nuke to do this, if this was their true intention.

But you guys have been conditioned to not use your brains. You don't think.



Who do you think started the rumour that Iran needs a nuke kill off am off Israel?...... I can tell you it was never an Iranian.
You are factually incorrect. Israel is 20000 sq kilometres
Since October 7, 2023, over 26,000 rockets, missiles, and drones have been fired at Israel from various fronts, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). This includes:
13,200 from the Gaza Strip, primarily by Hamas and allied groups.

12,400 from Lebanon, mostly by Hezbollah.

400 from Iran, in two direct attacks on April 13 and October 1, 2024.

180 from Yemen, attributed to Houthi rebels.

60 from Syria.



Just above a rocket and a half per sq kilometer. If Israel didn't have bomb shelters, iron Dome , Arrow and David's Sling ,Air to air defence how many dead you think they would have suffered ?
All these were financed , if not supplied by Iran.
In short those were meant to annihilate Israel .Don't second guess this
Hesbolla was boasting 150,000 rockets pointed at Israel ,they still have the many that were not destroyed.

You think those 26000 rockets and missiles were tipped with chocolate & candy and their whizzing sound is a lullaby for children? Remember 99% or more of those explosives have no precise target they are just fired at the populated areas. To maximize casualties.

If you read Sinwar request to Palestinian Commander of the IRGC he asked for $500 million to obliterate Israel, which was provided

Israel enemies mean what they say. It's not upon you to tell me otherwise.

They're not slow, it's intentional. The Israelis only playing games with the Islamists.
When it comes to dirty and rough games, the Jews are way ahead of their Jihadhist counterpart, that is another reason they hate the Jews. But then what do you expect, the "peaceful religion" is a lowbudget copycat of Judaism and you can't outshine your master.
What people don't know is that Arabic is almost a second language to the Israeli. Arabic is compulsory from grade 7 -10. Fluent Arab speakers will infiltrate any ME country and live just like any other Arab going to mosques basically spying. Mossad is a class ahead of every other agency wrt to collecting intelligence. When the Arabs are preaching hate , the Israel can understand what they say.

So scientists, who are just civil servants, alongside their entire families, and neighbours, are just "nuclear targets" right?

Iranian negotiators, are just "nuclear targets" right?

When Israeli Mossad admit to unleashing car bombs inside of Tehran and killing people, these are military targets.

The kain koolaid you guys drink no get definition. Israel is bombing hospitals, schools, cultural centres, universities,...... and even refugee camps in Gaza..... but we all know your responses. Human shields.

What's the toll of civilian casualties on either side again?
If someone is designing a bomb to kill you , do you attack the factory or the person

So what changed? You people have to pick a struggle
Trump is Putin puppet. Iran is Russia ally, they provide Russia with their shaheed drones, they gave Russia a licence to manufacture the drones.
Trump who is Putin puppet , had he been told to attack Iran.

Those ME nations cannot function as a democracy . They need dictatorship.
Save for Israel the rest are just royalties and dictatorships.
They can't manage peaceful transfer of power.
Iran has constitutional elections, every candidate must be on Khamenei good books. If they get rid of the Ayatollahs influence It could be as well off as Israel , stop sponsoring those terrorists and stop exporting their Shia doctrine. Iran will be a very developed country. I started following them years ago on topix , majority there want a secular democratic Iran free if theocracy.

Obama inherited a mess after the Iraq War that was started based on lies by the Republican Party so there you are.
What mess. The Arab spring was meant to bring democracy to a people who don't know what to do with it.
He started with an apology tour to Egypt. He invited members of the Muslim Brotherhood to the front seat to the chagrin of Mubarak who knew the MB is nothing but jihadist and terrorist backers. He forced out Mubarak and replaced him with Morsi. Morsi wanted to turn Egypt into an Islamic State but was overthrown by El Sisi. Egypt has known peace and systematic progress in all areas under Sisi.
Obama Arab initiative turned him to Libya. We all know Libya doesn't exist as a country now and 4 lives were lost in Benghazi terrorist attack that was blamed on a YouTube video noone had watched.
Then he turned to Syria. Removing Assad by arming and supporting moderates who were really Al Qaeda and later ISIS. We all know how that played out.
Next he creates some stupid Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan where iSAF couldn't kill suspected terrorists until they were fired upon first. Ditto Syria.Lots of troops lost .
Trump did short work of Obama "JV" team ISIS eliminating the Caliphate, it's leader and Iranian Solemani Ali who was behind many terror attacks globally.




Bush caused all this?

He is an abject failure. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost as a result of his recklessness. Ukraine has lost many and over 20% of it's territory The middle east tinderbox, Trump through Netanyahu is making a decisive push to end hegemony and hostilities.
Don't be afraid, say it. The two wars going on today are a direct result of Obama.

The jihad squad of the Democrat Party of course is aghast. Illhan Omar D - Mogadishu had this to say

“The strikes on Iran, ordered by President Trump and executed without congressional authorization, mark a dangerous and reckless escalation of an already volatile conflict in the Middle East.

“Military strikes will notbring peace. They will only provoke more violence, destabilize the region, and endanger U.S. troops and civilians."

"We’ve seen what happens when diplomacy is sidelined in favor of bombs.

She was featured on Iranian TV apparently she was properly dressed.
The jihad squad forgets that 79% of Democrats excluding Ijebos want Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb.

Her fellow squad member Rashida Tlaib D- Gaza..
President Trump sending U.S. troops to bomb Iran without the consent of Congress is a blatant violation of our Constitution.

Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley,the third Jihad squad member wants Trump impeached.
This is a violation of the Constitution that is risking innocent lives.
We do not need another deadly, endless war.
Congress must act immediately to rein in Trump.


Pramila Jayapal chimed in too.
The authority to declare war belongs solely to Congress. Trump’s unconstitutional and escalatory strikes risk drawing US troops and the American people—who are overwhelmingly opposed—into another forever war. Congress must immediately exercise our duty to restrain this President.

— Rep. Pramila Jayapal
.

Jasmine Crockett opined.

Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional…

Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.



We can't forget AOC ,the bartender and barista , Alexandria O Cortez.

The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

Tomorrow they will see another video of some schoolgirls being jailed or worse for their rights being abused and will come online to display fake outrage.

It's a regime due for defangin. More than stopping the nuclear parole I hope they are actually freed from Islamic theocracy and repression. Never mind minorities that have been through hell and back
If you understand the ME , democracy can't work there The oil rich Sunni dictators keep the oil flowing and prices stable most of the time. They know with America no longer dependent on their oil apart from stabilizing prices, their economies need to open up,attract FDI and divest. Their enclaves are Sharia run with gross human rights violations. The alternative to regime changes is a Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan or Iraq.
With the strike, US has shown if you push us to the wall with empty threats we shall take decisive action. Pakistan which threatened to join a war had their military chief at the WH a few hours later they nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Under Obama, We had a nuclear treaty with Iran that stipulated they were allowed to stop abiding by some of the nuclear restrictions if America breaks their side of the deal. We lift sanctions on them and they stop their nuclear activities.

Trump pulled us out of that treaty in 2018 because his jealousy of Obama knew no bounds. He was just out to dismantle everything Obama achieved in his presidency.

Trump IS THE REASON why this is happening. Just putting it out there so the dirty brainwashed liars don’t conflate the facts.
I won't see this post if you do the necessary...... Ban me.

Obama should have told Iran no enrichment at all. Once he allowed Iran to enrich upto 3.5% nothing prevented them from getting weapons grade 60% plus , they were actually doing 83.3% at Fordow. I believe you have a rough idea of dangers of nuclear fallouts wrt to cancer.
Obama is the reason why the world has been tottering on a WW3. On two fronts.. Ukraine and Iran.
His Nobel Peace Prize should be revoked Just a bloody useless charlatan whose actions put the world on the brink of WW3. Shame on him , more so to those who think he could do no wrong.
Look at the immigration mess his judges and Biden have caused in America. Shame on him.

Trump is being gracious. Iran will have a chance to open up to o the IAEA, and ship all their enriched uranium to... RUSSIA. All centrifuges will be shut down and destroyed.
All their space and ballistic missile production system will be shuttered that includes liquid and solid fuel .. No more money to to their terrorists.

Saudi Arabia is the most relieved of it all .It's been many years of threats from Iran to every one . Well close shipping, we'll destroy your oil facilities etc. All the tine they never had a nuclear bomb they'd be demanding ransom from every litre of oil produced by Qatar, Saudi etc.

Senior Iranian official to Reuters:
“If we have to choose between stopping uranium enrichment and war, we choose war.”
That's bluffing. If sanctions forced them to sign an 8-15:year JPCOA treaty with Obama, how about a war?
The insanity with Arabs fighting the west is that a single western death is a great victory to them. Any death on their side is promoted as martyrdom status and goes straight to Jannat. Avoiding the day of judgement. That's what the west doesn't understand. From the cradle Islam teaches graphically and vividly about the horrors of the hellfire. To avoid the day of judgement, and attain the forbidden earthly pleasures , a jihadist willing to die is created. The army against infidels will never lack fighters.
