who’s gonna pay for this war? How’s the budget overrun going to be covered?

Let me ask you and others the same annoying question you ask when it’s time to cater for needy citizens or the less privileged.

Iran masterminded the Beirut bombing where 241 US Marines lost their lives. Iran was responsible for a US warship attack
Iran was responsible for 604 deaths during the Iraq war ..

I won't talk about the havoc Iran (who shares no border with Israe) has caused the Jewish nation.

How much should a nation spend to ensure that state sponsor terrorist regime does not strike again? Give a decent figure, uiu can compute the cost of human lives wasted.

nateevs:
You are a madt man walahi. I have serious doubts about your sanity.

Where do I start from? How much do you think the entire WW2 engagement cost the US?

Where and how did it get munitions from?

You are costing the tomahawks , carriers , stealth fighters and so on .

WW2 at one time was 36% of America GDP. Do the maths today adjusted for inflation.

dermmy:
I think Iran missiles stockpile have diminished na. Yeye people

I think they still have missiles, what they are sparing is the mobile launchers which are being hunted night and day.

nateevs:
Your nonsense. Where would the endless money come from?


Also where would the endless munitions come from?

The same place it came from in WW2.
America fought on two fronts , How many armies can afford that?

nateevs:
Explain away.

What's there to explain?

Iran is fighting an army given all the leeway to win the war. Unlike in previous war , the politicians were stiffling the troops on the grounds with insane Rules of Engagement.
The international community can't say anything to Trump not while they are literally begging him to remove tariffs.
The Middle East nations supply oil worldwide without having a navy to talk of , because the US Navy Groups ensures the shipping lanes are open and safe. They cannot rely on Chinese who are only interested in getting cheaper crude and gas for their industries to out manufacture everyone else.

Iranians at home voices cannot be heard, there is a near total internet blackout Those in the diaspora are ecstatic the Ayatollahs are being decimated.
The liberals have sided with the regime as if they know better than Iranians.

nateevs:
A year? In terms of Iran's capability, that's a war of attrition. You guys don't pay attention to news from the other side. You are only paying attention to the bombings.

The US and Israel cannot sustain a war of attrition against Iran. It will become economically crippling for the US and Israel.

The US is already burning through $1bn a day executing this war on behalf of Israel. The economic cost to Israel alone is already estimated at $2.9bn in only 7 days. It is estimated to go upwards of $3bn a week, if current red restrictions continue. This is data from Israel's own Finance Ministry.

The US lacks an industrial base and supply chain to replenish munitions and advanced weapons systems quickly. You can thank decades of capitalism for that.

Unfortunately for the US, Iran does, and cheaply.


You guys have spent the last decade encouraging gaslighting, outright lying and "alternative facts" for political gain. The consequences are slow-rolling in a political hemisphere. The problem is that you lot are extending this tactic to war. In war, the cookies crumble very immediately.

The US is not running out of money to fight any war. Not now not ever.
Israel if it runs out of munitions will simply get more bombs from Uncle Sam. A ground war is expensive ,the US and Israel are only testing their aerial armaments.

Iran factories are being decimated one by one. It's only a matter of time before they can assemble a military wheelbarrow.

Some Liberals have loose nuts and bolts.

⚡Iranian officials say the government can withstand the attacks and believe the U.S. and Israel will eventually lose their appetite for war.

Their strategy—called Operation Madman—aims to raise the costs of the conflict until Washington and Tel Aviv back down.

Iran will keep firing missiles until Israel population begs for thexear to stop.
What a strategy by the mighty Iran army.

Jovi10:
Where is the evidence of the 30,killed protesters? The same Israel claimed they have hacked Iran's CCTV for a long time back and was seeing the in and out of Iranian leaders. So why can't they provide the killing of 30,000 people?

What is an acceptable figure Iran regime killed ? Give an estimate based on your sources .

Scarface: I wonder who on earth said on this thread that Iran won't be able to fire a single missile.

Basilico: I misquoted myself (whatever the fvck this means anyway).

The supposed most intelligent nairalander issuing denial on behalf of the person who actually made the ridiculous statement.

Wide aneemal, is what you are😂😭!

I may have written that about Iran not firing a single , which would not be possible while I am probably more well informed about Iran than you in terms of it's capabilities and ambitions .

Scorpio99:
Look at the post above. You have no choice but to agree that common sense is a billion light years away from some folks.
As in, definitely not in this generation will them or any of their menage be able to put two and two together to make a logical conclusion about anything.

They are so hurt and bitter about Russia's own failed offensive that they want every nation to fail. I wonder who on earth said on this thread that Iran won't be able to fire a single missile. But of course, it is the characteristics of perennial losers to twist and turn facts so that they can at least have something to chew.

All your top leaders are dead, you can't even gather in one place appoint another for fear of Netanyahu's lurking missiles. Yet, this one is trying hard to paper over the cracks.
Even if the war was dusted off in three days, it is achieved. Ayatollah killed on day 1, former president killed on day three, important military commanders all killed within the first 3 days of war. What the US is doing right now is a mop up operation.

Meanwhile, Zelensky is still alive, moving free while Putin is hiding in bunkers. Putin can't even fly over any NATO country except with the permission of the president of the US. Operation take Kyiv im 3 days now in year 5. Even the planning and execution of Normandy landing didn't take this long?

You have supported failure for four years and counting. I have to start believing that you are the incarnate of failur.

They call me a troll because I called Putin army rag tag and no match for America. IDF can also whoop Putins army ,save for numbers.
Without air superiority, Putin will continue throwing more men into the meat grinder.
Russia has always won by use of massive artillery barrages. In Ukraine,he won't do that because he wants to win the civilians to his side, then rubberstamp the annexed territories via referendum.

SonOfWords:
If I be you, shame suppose dey catch me at this point.

You had the temerity to come here and blab how Iran won't be able to fire a single missile should Usrael attack them. You even dusted off the war in three days, yet one week later, Israel is burning, US bases and interests all around the ME are up in blazes.

Yet you've consistently done a volte-face on all your initial claims and are now salivating all over the thread with st*pid takes.

Just like the other clown who went to twitter to steal some hair-brained analysis about the lethality and supposed strategic importance of the aircraft carrier that was docked off Israel🤡.

Try go outside touch grass, Uncle three-days-decimation-of-Iran !

I misquoted myself about Iran not being able to fire a single missile.

Iran is not firing them willy nilly now, are they? That's what I meant , with total air superiority by USAF they will be firing a single one and running like hell to avoid being blown up. A ballistic launch is detected and triangulated within seconds of it being fired. It's only a matter of time they won't be able to fire any. As for drones that's another case, they will still continue firing ,it's said they still have thousands of expendable stocks.

Question is ,how long can the centre hold?
As of now Iran has no defence land ,air or sea worth talking about . Any war they can fight , is of attrition and terrorism.

🚨 TERROR IN MANHATTAN: NYPD Thwarts Shrapnel Bomb Attack on Protesters 📉🏙️

The "Zero Tolerance" era for political violence was put to the test today in NYC. The NYPD has confirmed the arrest of two domestic terrorists who allegedly attempted to massacre conservative protesters using homemade shrapnel bombs. This wasn't just a "smoke bomb"—this was a direct attempt at mass casualty.

According to NYPD officials, the attack was a coordinated effort to bring Middle Eastern-style terror to the streets of the Upper East Side.

18-year-old Amir Balat allegedly ignited a device and hurled it toward the crowd while shouting "Allahu Akbar." The device—packed with nuts, bolts, and screws—was designed to act as a fragmentation grenade.

After the first device failed to detonate, Balat reportedly ran to Ibrahim Nik (19), who handed him a second ignited shrapnel bomb.

The entire sequence was captured on NYPD Argus Cameras, leading to a swift takedown before the "hobby fuse" could trigger a tragedy. The Bomb Squad has since confirmed the devices were lethal jars wrapped in black tape.

The religion of peace brings love to New York.

I've been saying this over and over.

Saudi Arabia Draws Red Line: Iran Warned of Severe Consequences and Full U.S. Base Access

On March 7, 2026, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan delivered a blunt message to his Iranian counterpart in a high-stakes diplomatic call.

Saudi Arabia will not tolerate any further Iranian attacks on its territory or energy infrastructure. Any additional strike will be met with a decisive military response.

The Kingdom made clear it is prepared to grant the United States unrestricted access to all Saudi military bases if escalation continues.

The warning comes after a series of Iranian drone strikes, including one that targeted the Ras Tanura refinery complex, part of a wider pattern of aggression amid rising regional tensions.

Riyadh’s position is straightforward: cross this line again and face the full weight of Saudi and American military power.

No room for ambiguity. The Kingdom has drawn the line.

America will not need any boots on the ground after all.
Saudi Arabia actions will be followed by every other nation that's been attacked by those Ayatollahs. Iranians are cowardly bullies, this is not a war against Islam.

Iran is being degraded. No air force, no Navy , no military bases will be left. .
They will be left with their underground missiles and drones only ..
Most launchers are being detected immediately they launch.

Many ignore Iran intentions to annihilate Israel and America. In Arabic, Quds is Jerusalem.
When a country has a Quds force incharge of arming Hezbollah plus Hamas, chants death to Israel plus America every Friday prayers and Iranians step on painted Israel and America flags before entering govt buildings, that should be a note of concern. Instead we have the west saying they don't mean to destroy Israel and America.

Something is cooking in the Iranian regime

Iran's President Pezeshkian part of the three man ruling council publicly announced they will NOT attack neighboring countries

Few hours after the announcement, the IRGC released an official statement calling him and his announcement a "mistake".🤣🤣🤣

So The IRGC has just announced to the world that the ruling council are not in control, they are simply saying Ignore Pezeshkian's words.." The military has just publicly overruled their own president — in the middle of a military conflict😂😂😂😂


Now for the Intellectual juveniles here, the IRGC is not the Iranian conventional army's they are constitutional mandate is to ensure the integrity of the Islamic Republic... and they only answer to the supreme leader..


Eyah sorry for Pezeshkian..After all the rhetorics on media.. dude has been made a complete f....
😂

On Feb 27th the Israel defence chiefs spread photos of them going home to celebrate Shabbat ( I'm not sure ). They returned to the command headquarters in disguise a few minutes later.
Rubio had also said he'll visit Israel the following week. .
This lulled the Iranians into thinking no way an attack was imminent on that day , so Ayatollah Khamenei went ahead with his meeting .

I'm thinking the Iran President saying they won't attack the neighbors was a trick to the neighbors into thinking the attacks are over. Hardly was the message released than drone and missiles were flying to attack the same countries.
If it's a rift between the IRGC and the executive then that explains it sufficiently. I

⚡Iran's Larijani:

When the enemy attacks us from bases in the region, we respond — and we will continue to respond. This is our right and a standing policy.

Regional countries must either prevent the US from using their territory against Iran, or we will have no choice but to do it ourselves.

Now imagine if they had a nuclear
They could easily give dirty bombs to Houthis or Hezbollah.
Then demanding ransom money to prevail upon the Houthis /Hezbollah not bomb them
As for Israel and America,a dirty bomb would be exploded in those countries the soonest possible

Yes Venezuela soldiers including an elite group of Cubans died. No American died. Yet democrats still opposed the capture.
Nothing Trump does can ever please democrats.

budaatum:
Are you asking me where the evidence the prosecution presented before a jury and that a jury saw and that he himself admitted he was guilty of and that the judge agreed with him and sentenced him, is, or is it that you do not think spreading lies against a person because they are different and worship a different god is a crime of hate. Or perhaps you think a jury's decision is the opinion of budaatum?

Those are process crimes. The underlying crime is British Police refusal to arrest and charge hundreds of Pakistan groomers.
I'm sure you know deep in your heart ( I doubt you have one ) that Tommy was targeted and silenced for amplifying Pakistani groomers .
Any of your attempts to quote whatever law Tommy broke to convince us the UK was justified in jailing him is laughable. Only people who are mentally incapacitated would believe that

bayelsaowei:
you have willfully chosen to ignore history as to how Iran got to this point. Saying it is baseless only makes you sound shallow. You can keep basking in your ignorance.

Meanwhile, Your pre-judgement of Iran not being capable of having nuclear weapons simply because of her religion is bigotry. Your thinking is not only warped but also childish.

How you think this way, but then worship Bibi that kills women and children for a living is religious hypocrisy. You think your zionist friends are any better than a Muslim?

The Iranians themselves are to blame. Plus the French
When Khomeini returned in 1st Feb 1979 , they received him like their Jesus.
On March 31st 1979 they voted 98% in a referendum to be run by Sharia.
Khomeini obliged , implemented Sharia as per their wishes.
Sharia has two forms of punishment. Hudud and Qisas.
Khomeini gave them exactly that .

As an aside the people of Raqqa welcomed ISIS who promised to install Sharia instead of Assad laws. ISIS gave them exactly what's in their books. ISIS didn't invent any laws, they implemented what their books say.

raumdeuter:
Many former Democrats like me cannot recognize the party again. It has been taken over by lunatics

The far left fringe in Democrats took over . The intolerant left reached the zenith of their power with Obama whose victories were broadly accepted by everyone.
Trump made it worse by calling them out. They came out unhinged and vocal drowning out the democrats of yore.

In most cases power is never handed over on silver platter. Whether in free elections or not candidates must fight tooth and nail to obtain tg power
Iran theocrats are so entrenched they will fight to the last man before handing power over.

Power is never handed over easily, it must be grabbed .

President Zelensky said it,
The UK and Europe are showing it with their actions.
If push comes to shove, they cannot defend Greenland. Their reliance on the US to protect them is mind-boggling.

Saying the US has asset their to protect British troops while denying them access to use their bases is a crime.

They are all lining up to bow to China just in case the United falls. But they should all be standing up to China.

The left is preoccupied with diminishing the right. To that end they openly side with the Muslims who also have an axe to grind with conservatives, Jews, Christians abd Hindu in that order.
The European left depends on America to guarantee their security while they spend all their money on social services.
But I've never understood why the left want to kill industry in their own countries while moving factories to China. They have raised cost of power and production, banned exploitation of rare Earth's because of environment and actively want to censor free speech at home.

bemeruca:
They didn't use drones or planes for logistics and to fight wars back then. This era is different. They can potentially defeat Iran in less than a year.

Global airlift C-17, C-5, etc,
Satellite navigation and surveillance,
Carrier strike groups and long range bombers,
They have good regional bases for staging Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Turkey, Diego Garcia, etc.
Precision guided weapons and drones.
So, today's militaries do not depend on a single fragile supply route the way they did back in the day expeditions.

The issue is that losing even one soldier will be seen as a failure.

They plucked Maduro without a single casualty yet Democrats found a reason to oppose it.

Iran miscalculation.

‎Arab States Deliver Stinging Rebuke to Iran at UN: Tehran's Missile Barrage Backfires
‎
‎In a rare show of unity, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman stood together at the United Nations Security Council to condemn Iran's reckless missile and drone assaults on their territories. The attacks, launched in supposed retaliation for U.S. and Israeli strikes, began February 28, 2026, and have struck civilian areas and infrastructure across the Gulf.
‎
‎Representatives branded the strikes "cowardly," "indiscriminate," and blatant violations of sovereignty, international law, and the UN Charter. Bahrain, speaking for the Gulf Cooperation Council, held Iran fully responsible and rejected any justification for the aggression. Saudi Arabia denounced the targeting of Riyadh and its southern provinces, extending condemnation to attacks on fellow Gulf states and Jordan. Kuwait, Qatar, and others echoed the outrage, describing the barrages as unjustifiable threats to civilian lives and regional stability.
‎
‎Iran's gamble to intimidate its neighbors has instead deepened its isolation. By attacking multiple Arab nations hosting U.S. assets, Tehran has united longstanding rivals against it and invited stronger international backlash. The mullahs' strategy of escalation through terror has produced the opposite result: diplomatic isolation and a firm Arab front demanding accountability.

PM Starmer is spineless.

PM Starmer pandering to Muslim vote, blocked AMERICA from using all it's military bases to attack Iran. Pretended it was from the advice of Attorney General Lord Hermer who warned that supporting unilateral offensive action could breach international law and make the UK a "co-belligerent.

Iran attacked the RAF base in Cyprus , so he retracted partly.

Iran then closed the Str if Hormuz.
Lloyd's the largest marine insurer hiked their rates, then pulled out.
Trump asked the US IDFC to undertake the risks and pledged support via escorts through the straits using Navy Warships .
With that Lloyd's of London riskee using over 500 oil tankers who transit the straits. Common sense, once business went away it would nevér come back.

Starmer then allowed the use of UK and offshore bases for launching those " unilateral offensive actions that may breach international law".
Sheepishly he said UK will not engage in any offensive actions.
