The US should have dealt with Iran not Iraq long ago but don’t tell me you want to bring peace and democracy to any country. As if you care.

Correction. Obama should have nipped this in the bud more than 12 years ago.
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.
Add Libya, Syria to the mix , his failed Arab Spring initiative.

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.

The same thing is playing out again like Groundhog day.

Same people and demographic that were lamenting about World Cup being held in Qatar are now sympathizing with the biggest terrorist sponsor nation on the planet

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.

cococandy:
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.

**Spits**

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.

HolinessForever:
19 ISRAELI female pilots were in the skies over Iran — the same regime that spent years oppressing women. Now the tables have turned, from 30,000 feet.

Interesting. When ISIS attacked the Kurds in Kobane, they quickly activated the all female YPG group. ISIS terrorists were scared of being killed by women because they would not enter paradise.

Khamenei has ordered the death of Israeli civilians , in times of peace. Why should his victims die and he gets to live to order more deaths

Gospelpreacher1:
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.

budaatum:
Is your point, therefore bomb every hospital in Gaza?

Ibime explained it took 2 weeks to clear the hospital of terrorists. Once you launch rockets and offensive positions it becomes a legit target.
You should be asking whether IDF found any cache of arms , whether they were shot at within the hospital.
If the answer is no , then they should not have bombed it
Circle back to my advice. Never believe anything from Hamas . I presume you've never heard of Pallywood which has more actors
and props than all of Hollyweird, Bollywood and Nollywood combined

budaatum:
I will not emotionally cry at this your emotional post, Ibime. What I would wonder is what stupid Terrorists who indiscriminately murdered 1,400 Israelis will hole up in and under Al Shifa hospital.

Are they stupid or what, or am I being gullibly asked to believe basilico's they are mindless blood thirsty jihadist Arabs?

I reserve my emotionally cry for the Palestinians who did not kill 1400 Israelis who are being bombed in the hospital they run to after being bombed out there homes.

Your thoughts on this please.


Wafa al Bass (Wafa al-Biss, b. 1984) is a Palestinian Arab resident of northern Gaza and student at Al Quds University who was permitted to enter Israel for the purpose of being treated for burns at an Israeli hospital in 2005 after a gas cooker had blown up while she was making dinner.She wore a suicide bomb vest which she attempted to explode as she crossed into Israel via the Erez Crossing.

Al Bass had been given permission by Israel to enter Israel to receive hospital treatment for severe burns at Soroka Hospital in Beer Sheva.. On June 20, 2005, during one of her return visits, guards at the crossing became suspicious given that she was walking awkwardly, and discovered that under her traditional black robes she had strapped a 22-pound bomb to her legs. She unsuccessfully attempted to then detonate the bomb, and when questioned, she said that she hoped to explode the bomb after arriving at the hospital where she had been treated.She said "I am a member of Al Aqsa Brigades .. I believe in death."


Cry for this one also

Absolute nonsense. Obama treaty was for the Mullahs to stop enriching uranium,develop ballistic missiles for 8 -15 years in return for sanctions removal. He gave them $400 million in cash besides freeibg up billions of dollars for them. After that they were free to make nuclear bombs.
Worst deal ever .
He took the deal for ratification to the UN because neither the house nor the Senate would have approved it. His closest advisor who lives in his house and also lived with them in the House in the Hill "built by slave labour" is Valerie Jarrett. She is an Iranian American .
You know nothing about the JPCOA .
Obama misguided idea of middle east peace was to have Iran get a nuclear bomb, create another axid of power and so Israel would not bully them.
Most useless charlatan whose Nobel Peace Prize should be revoked yesterday.

Budaatum. This was before Trump declared he is running for a presidency in June 2015. My stance on Iran vs Israel is not guided by the politics of what Trump eats and drinks.

Red this.

Holiness2100:
Iranian official tells Reuters:
Iran is ready to discuss restrictions on its uranium enrichment

Might be too late. No enrichment no centrifuges.

Holiness2100:
IAF fighter jets struck the Iranian Regime’s Internal Security HQ and the HQ of the regime's special internal security units in Tehran earlier this week.

Take a look at what type of infrastructure was located in these places:

Ballistic missile launchers . Unbelievable.

ObaIgwe1:
Even The Palestinians do no want this arrangement. No people want to depend on another Nation for their well being or become a 2nd class citizens to another. Israel took up this unsolicited responsibilities because they do not want to allow the 2 states solution. Let Israel accept and work towards a 2 state solution and the Palestinians will take their destinies in their hand without handouts from Israel.



I already told you I consider myself a lover of Israel just not a fan of Netanyahu, I also told you I love children regardless of who birth them, even if they are from my enemies because I believe in their innocence. So there is no way I am happy that any kid will die in any senseless war, be it Israeli or Palestinian kids. I am talking about surviving children in need of basic things to remain alive, I do not need to cry for Israeli surviving/injured children because they are well taking care of, and I am happy about that. I am simply crying for innocent surviving Palestinian children needing water, food and medicines just to remain alive. And the minimum I expect of anyone with a heart, especially a parent's heart is to show some concern for them too and not give me all these sorry excuses and tales you are giving.

What makes you think a two state solution is the answer. You been reading too much liberal hogwash. How do you make a deal with people who want you dead? People who demand a judenrein Palestinian state. People who sing from the river to the sea, people who celebrated Oct 7 out in the streets.

The Palestinians should be absorbed by those Arab countries, their aim is to get rid of a Jewish state. Their first fight is right of return. Then universal suffrage when they are majority. After which they turn Israel into another shithole like Yemen .

There are no Palestinians as distinct from Jordans, Syrians or Egyptians. They are simply Arabs who have been chased away by Kuwait, Jordan, Tunisia and Lebanon after causing trouble in their host countries.
When they get aid they build tunnels with the cement.
They don't even pay for electricity supplied by Israel. Neither do they pay for water from the same, all they do is whine how much litres of water per person they are not getting per day in line international standards. How much calorific weight per person Israel should allow in as aid. They are just cry babies.
When Israel left Gaza due to pressure from the west they immediately looted the greenhouses and used the water pipes to make rockets. The plastic pipes, they use for caning students in schools and madrassas
They are just a good for nothing people whose state would be the middle east Riviera but they voted for Hamas. Instead they are propped up by aid for everything including condoms. Aid also pays very generous monthly stipends to the families of their terrorists jailed in Israel prisons , the more heinous the crimes the more the stipends.
Israel pioneered desalination of sea water which they supply to Palestinians, who then lie that they are over exploiting fresh drinking water from the river Jordan.
Going biblically the Wailing Wall was built by King Herod. Palestinians claim it's an Islamic wall , took the claims to UNESCO and UN General Assembly where ignorant countries voted to support the resolution. They used the UN to delegitimize any Jewish connections.
I have not called them a useless people though

Trump goes there.
Obama JPCOA deal allowed Iran to enrich uranium and not develop ballistic missiles for 8 years. After that they were free to do anything. Who does that?
Trump is wrong here , it was Valerie Jarrett. She is still with Obama after living with him at the WH.

GloriousGbola:
all this is why i believe nethenayahu allowed october 7 to happen. i know muslims in yankee who were unhappy about the isreali response to october 7 and were blaming jo biden. i mean there were arab american rappers writing songs called genocide joe.

too many western liberals are not realists and will drop the good for the impossible. somehow people have been conditioned to believe that the change you want will happen overnight - possibly because everyone tried to rewrite Americas ugly history and pretend that civil rights came overnight.

Thank your stars I'm not the moderator here. I would have banned and everyone who liked your post - for 1 year.

A Commiefornia judge had ordered the national guard in California to be under the Governor Newscum. 36 pages from him saying the Presidential order to activate National Guard was unlawful.

A 3 judge bench of 9th Circuit Appeals court has revoked his orders unanimously
The undisputed facts demonstrate that before the deployment of the National Guard, protesters ‘pinned down’ several federal officers and threw ‘concrete chunks, bottles of liquid, and other objects’ at the officers. Protesters also damaged federal buildings and caused the closure of at least one federal building. And a federal van was attacked by protesters who smashed in the van’s windows,” the court wrote. “The federal government’s interest in preventing incidents like these is significant.”
The court also found that even if the federal government failed to notify the governor of California before federalizing the National Guard as required by law, Newsom had no power to veto the president’s order.


What law school did this judge attend ?The only conclusion is that his decision was purely partisan and grandstanding. A dereliction of duty.

ANTONINEUTRON:
Hello everyone,

I've been following recent discussions on this forum and have noticed a strong trend of support for Israel’s ongoing military actions against Iran. I understand that people have diverse opinions, shaped by history, politics, and security concerns. But It seems most opinion on Nairaland comments are shaped by Religion (which, if true is sad).

A quick one:
some people will attribute it to Iran shouldn't have nuclear weapon.
Have you forgetten 2003 and the Iraq war? was any weapon found?

Let’s start with the Vanunu case. In 1986, Mordechai Vanunu, an Israeli nuclear technician, revealed Israel’s secret nuclear weapons program to the British press. He was kidnapped by Mossad, secretly tried, and imprisoned for 18 years, 11 of which were in solitary confinement. To this day, Israel has never officially acknowledged its nuclear arsenal, yet it’s widely understood to possess dozens, possibly hundreds, of nuclear warheads. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordechai_Vanunu

Now contrast this with Iran. As of today, there is no conclusive evidence that Iran has built or possesses a nuclear weapon. Multiple IAEA inspections have verified this over the years. Yet, many in this forum seem comfortable supporting an Israeli war against Iran, seemingly justified by the assumption that Iran might eventually develop nuclear capability.

Here’s the question I keep coming back to:

Is it really about nuclear weapons, or are we selectively applying standards based on warped ideological bias?

This isn’t about supporting Iran or criticizing Israel blindly. It’s about consistency, morality, and whether we allow fear or prejudice to shape our view of justice as Nigerians.

Our current trail of thought we shape how this country goes by 2027.

Would love to hear thoughtful takes from others.

When the supreme leader chants Death to Israel , Death to America every Friday prayer you should believe him.
When he sends hundreds of missiles that will obviously fall on civilian areas he means to eliminate you
When he sponsors and supplies weapons to Houthis, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hesbolla to rain down tens of thousands of rockets to Israel He means to kill anyone. Rockets by Hamas , Hesbolla are tipped with explosives, they are not tipped with candy, sweets, chocolates and love messages. Think about someone firing a bullet at you. He means to kill or maim you ,it's either you take him out or he will kill you.
Iran is lying about moving their 60% enriched elsewhere. In 2023 IAEA determined their Underground Fordo plant was enriching to 83.3%. Uranium for safe purposes only needs to be 3.5% . For medical isotopes which I doubt Iran is researching on maybe 60%. Another purpose would be for nuclear powered naval vessels which Iran doesn't have .The only other purpose of that level of enrichment is the nuclear bomb. Let me know from you why their centrifuges can enrich uranium to more than 20%. Why they need to enrich when they can buy nuclear fuel for their power plants without the hazards of their reactors blowing up and contaminating the environment.
Just before the hostilities started
Catyln Jenner was in Tel Aviv to celebrate Pride month. This is only possible in one country in the Middle East. In Iran they go medieval on gays, hoisting them up a crane . The Basiji moral police patrol the streets harassing and arresting women who don't wear the headbag. Basiji have murdered women for the crime of being uncovered ,as if Jen can't hold up their zippers.

Iran is not Arabic ,they are Persians. They are Aryans (whom Hitler said were the super race) the name Iran reflects Aryan origin in case you didn't know.So why they concerned about a tiny little country ( 20000 sw km) surrounded by Arab territories seated on hundreds of millions of square kilometers Why does Iran call Israel a cancer that should be removed and exterminated. The chants" from the river to the sea" means drive out Israel citizens to the sea. To beach parties or to drown ?
Here is a map of Israel surrounded by tens of Arab nations . Who expelled nearly all of their Jewish citizens in 1948 and confiscated their possessions, today worth hundreds of billions of Dollars.

Convince me to support Iran .

Rilwayne001:
America has a lot to lose in the war more than it stands to gain.

Another Middle East crisis means bye-bye to the billions Saudi Arabia and Qatar promised him.

More so, the war has the potential to linger far more than the Afghan and Iraqi wars. Also, the potential to cost the US on average 1billion every day in military spending.

Considering Trump is all about saving money which brought about DOGE, and the threat China and Russia is posing at them, for real, they would need more than two weeks to decide whether to go into the war or not.

Iran will not see ground troops holding territory. Simply bomb every nuclear installation, ballistic missile production facilities and their space programme.
The Ayatollah will simply collapse from the shock and die once his lifetime pet projects go up in smoke

raumdeuter:
The leadership choices are what is responsibl for the sufferings of the Gaza kids. If the leadership did not decide to attack Israel and kill 1400 party goers on October 7, there wont be Gaza kids suffering

Humanitarian and Medical aid you care about is currently being delivered by Israel and their American partners to Gaza right now. The UN? The same UN where UNHCR is a propaganda tool for Hamas where several Hamas members have infiltrated

The US backed GHF and Israel are delivering aids to the Gaza people. You realize Egypt shares a border with Gaza? Have you asked Egypt why they are not opening their border t send supplies to into Gaza

We always demand of Israel what we cannot accept in our own country.
Israel provides healthcare for Gazans,
Israel provides employment for Gazans some who end up blowing them up and stabbing them,
Israel provide aids to Gazans

Have you ever Asked Ukraine or Russia when they will provide all the above to the other side or provide cover to aid trucks going into Russia/Ukraine? or its just Israel that is mandated to do that

As the empathy for kids, do you have this same empath for kids murdered by Hamas regularly? or this empathy goes missing here?
Do you have the same empathy for the kids being killed by Arab militias in Sudan, If you do, I have not shared it here

War is brutal especially on innocent civilian population mainly kids and women, That is why reasonable people avoid war at all cost and every aggressive state sponsor of terror like Iran Hezbollah, Hamas Houthi should be condemned by all well meaning citizens

A lot of commenters here side with Hamas and Iran simply because Ze Trump supports Israel wholeheartedly. Ibime is a surprise exception , his stance on Israel mortally broke several hearts.
Whether Israel is wrong or not , I would never support genocidal maniacs .
This is one reason Iran is emboldened to be belligerent. A high ranked official telling you that Iran will eliminate you respectfully .

In August 2020 .
federal customs officers have seized 1,513 shipments from overseas containing fraudulent documents—19,888 counterfeit U.S. driver's licenses—just at Chicago O'Hare International Airport this year through the end of June.

20000 fake driving licences were intended to be used to generate mail-in ballots.
As expected Fact checkers in unison like a choir all reported that the seizure had nothing to do with the election .
The FBI killed the probe. Those are the internal documents released to Grassely by the FBI director.
Under Cris Wray FBI killed every crime that would damage democrats. Effectively it ceased to be the worlds premiere investigation agency and became a stasi like org who purpose was to protect democrats and crucify Trump.Iy led the efforts to find Trump guilty of anything at all

New documents have been release to nypost that shows FBI and DOJ obsession to go after Trump .

FBI Special Agent Walter Giardina an anti Trump federal agent has been in every witch hunt targeting Trump.In medieval societies he would have been strung up high by now

It was a a whole industry under Biden to make sure Trump git locked up before the elections.

Within minutes of him posting, they had banned him.
Liberals only want their views to be heard. So sad

nateevs:
As a sovereign nation, Iran has a right over its decision to enrich whatever it wants to. You have no right to tell them what they can and cannot do.

Who's monitoring Israel's Nuclear capacity?

As a sovereign nation Iran has the right to start a war which may be defensive or offensive in nature.
As s sovereign nation Iran has the right to retaliate against Israel when it's military leaders and advisors enabling Hesbollah attack Israel are killed in Lebanon.
As a sovereign nation Iran has the right to sponsor terrorist groups within the ME. These are the groups that use Iran weaponry to attack merchant ships, attack Aramco facilities, attack Israel using rockets and missiles Iran has the sovereign right to arm and train these militias.

emmaodet:
He has to be careful. His decision can light up the whole region.
Can/will the US be able to blow up Iran's nuclear facility? Absolutely Yes
But
The problem is that Iran will also blow up Isreal's own.
Atleast, we have seen they are struggling to neutralize 20-30 years ago missiles not to talk about modern ones.
So Yes, Iran will blow up Isreal's own and that will have a devastating action in the region.
The edge and fear isreal had in that region is the nuclear weapon, without it the Arab resistance forces would have long attacked her and over run her.
It is the Samson's Option that has still been keeping a lot abay to take a pound of their own flesh from Isreal's long years of bullying, expanding etc
Blowing Iran nuclear facility will make the region so so so messy, very very messy.
I pray trump is reasonable enough to know the reaction of his actions.
Iran has threatened no one's oil rigs would be standing if her own goes up in flame. She has shown she has the capacity.
Saudi oo, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait etc would all collect for been docile or codedly supporting the invaders.
It will be very very messy.
Iran na agbero ooo, no dey follow agbero fight oo if you be butty boy.
Them go destroy your fine boy.
He who is down and sanctioned to death for years needs fear but no fall

Israel already has nuclear bombs A triad. Submarines, Jet fighters and Ballistic missiles.
Iran has the golden offer according to Trump. Invite the IAEA to shut down every centrifuge and cart off the enriched uranium avd Israel will stop attacking it
Iran only needs to stop enrichment, they can use nuclear fuel to generate power . They also need to stop ballistic missiles production.
