They know what they are doing but the foolish leftists in the west have been fooled

All the gulf states who are close to Iran know how much of a terror that Iran is to them

Iranians in diaspora most middle east leaders all support Trump and this war but its misguided nateevs and foolish leftists crying more than people in the forefront
I've been reading what Iranians in diaspora say about what they left. In first grade they had to jump and step on an American and Israel flag before being allowed to enter the school.
Hear these nateevs and Ijebos cry now while they was silent when thousands died a few weeks ago .

Rubio said Iran was making 100 missiles per month , while America can only do 6-7 interceptors within the same period.They had to be stopped before they got to a point where they could just bulldoze their way into a nuclear bomb.

US Treasury Sec Scott Bessent says they are tracking millions of dollars suddenly being wired out of Iran by top regime officials. He promised the senders won't access the money that should be used to rebuild Iran.

Trump has also directed Bessent to cut off all trade ties to Spain, PM retorted country has all necessary resources to contain any impacts.

China oil purchases from Venezuela and Iran are highly discounted due to international sanctions. In total that's 17% of China daily purchases, forcing it to bid at higher prices to cover the shortfall. China is merciless, when their allies are down ,it buys oil from them dirt cheaply. To make it worse it sold them their premium Air Defence System that were taken out within minutes by Hegseth.

An Iranian who lived through the regime until 3 years ago answers you better than I ever could

... Their mouth because they didn't get to live in those situation that I live, that my people live, that the women inside of Iran is living right now. So they didn't experience any of those. They don't have any idea to what is it like to live in a situation that you get oppressed every single moment of your life. You're getting killed. Your loved ones getting killed. I don't know if you saw those videos of people that got killed, but it's like the most sad thing that anyone can see. So I just want to say, please shut your mouth to all lefties, to all pro-Palestine. Please shut your mouth because you don't know anything. You don't get to decide what is good for us, what is bad for us.

‎And by the way, a month ago there were a massacre happening in Iran. As I like just said, hundreds of thousands of people just died. You were silent. You didn't say anything. Why are you talking right now? Is it because like Jews are involved?

Basilico, isn’t there a time when you have to sit down and think? You don’t have to support everything these criminals plan to execute.

I watched how votes were stolen right from Peter Obi in Lagos when MC Oluomo and his boys were literally sent to violently disrupt the election. Chased voters out of polling units, created a tensed environment etc.

Why In the world would Trump need ICE officials to participate in elections in the same USA he won elections twice,?

How in the world does a felon win elections in the USA if the election platforms in the US aren’t free and fair?

THINK for once in your life.
There is no proof Joe Biden won in 2020,let's start from there and don't you dare go there when the FBI seized Fulton materials has not been analysed and publicised.
As to having ICE agents near polling stations , how does it affect genuine elections if only citizens vote?
With regards to passing the VoterID law , democrats are against it .
Leaving these loopholes open to abuse whether it does happen or not is like leaving a computer network insecure because noone is interested in hacking .

They've already used the Fattah2 advance missiles. And they promised to bring even deadlier ones into play. We'll see how that works out in the days to come.
Something significant. USAF used
B-2 bombers first which are stealth. Then B1-B which are slightly stealthy and speedy.
B-52 have been spotted which means the air defence of Iran is heavily degraded. USAF has 70 of these 70,000 pound capacity bombers.

CIA is also staging the Kurds for an armed incursion.

I hope Iran doesn't go the Iraq way , with terrorists waging a civil war. Big chance it could, the Iraqi Mahdi army got support from IRGC. Hopefully in a country where 80% wanted to move away from Islamic influence there might be saner heads

Trump has said he probably forced Israel hand on the Iran operation not the other way round.

Here is a gem.

Trump’s Ironclad Stance on Iran: 47 Years of Resolve

As U.S. and Israeli forces hammer the Iranian regime in Operation Epic Fury, one truth stands out: President Donald J. Trump has never wavered on confronting Tehran.

Back in October 1980, a 34-year-old Trump blasted America’s weakness during the Iran hostage crisis on national television:

“That they hold our hostages is just absolutely and totally ridiculous. That this country sits back and allows a country such as Iran to hold our hostages to my way of thinking is a horror… I absolutely feel that yes [we should have gone in with troops]. I think right now we’d be an oil-rich nation and I believe that we should have done it and I’m very disappointed that we didn’t do it… we had every right to do it at the time.”

Fast-forward through decades: Trump repeatedly vowed during his 2016, 2020, and 2024 campaigns that Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. No flip-flops. No apologies. Just consistent, unyielding determination.

Now, in March 2026, President Trump has backed words with decisive action—launching major combat operations to dismantle Iran’s nuclear ambitions, missile programs, and terror infrastructure alongside Israel. Hundreds of targets hit. Supreme Leader Khamenei eliminated. The regime on its knees.

This isn’t a sudden shift—it’s the fulfillment of a 47-year conviction. Peace through strength. America respected. Enemies deterred.

Donald Trump said it in 1980. He meant it every day since. And today, he’s delivering.

America First—finally enforced.

ht David Brody


Both Netanyahu and Trump been dreaming of dismantling the Iran regime for over 40 years .
Nateevs take note. Trump 7 years ahead of Netanyahu.

Majority of Iranian strikes over 95 percent of the attacks on gulf states yesterday was by
drones not ballistic missiles
😂😂😂

No be to own 7billion missiles..do you have the launchers to used it??

The US, especially Israel is intensifying her strikes on Iran..While Iran salvos are reducing drastically!!!

The CIA is already preparing the Kurds to lunch a limited ground incursion into Western Iran.
The are reported to have 70,000 drones,. I may think that's an exaggerated number, though I believe they have thousands more.

Ballistic missiles launching now should be more infrequent, the Iranians are saying they want to release them gradually , reserving the more advanced ones for later. In war truth is the first casualty.

The savages of Iran holding global economy hostage are being warned by Saudi Arabia.


Saudi Arabia Draws a Red Line: "We Do Not Lose Our Temper Easily — But When We Do, We Strike Hard"

Riyadh, March 3, 2026 — As Iranian drones and missiles continue reckless strikes across the Gulf—including a direct hit on the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh—Saudi Arabia has issued a stark warning to Tehran.

In a powerful televised statement, a Saudi military spokesperson declared:

We are Saudis — we do not lose our temper easily. But when we do, we strike hard.”

The message underscores the Kingdom's measured restraint so far, even after brazen Iranian attacks on Saudi territory and allies. But it leaves no doubt: further aggression will trigger a decisive, forceful response.

Saudi forces have already intercepted multiple Iranian drones near Riyadh and Al-Kharj, while the Kingdom joins the U.S., UAE, and other partners in condemning Iran's escalation. With American B-2 bombers pounding Iranian missile sites and over 1,700 U.S. strikes recorded since operations began, Riyadh stands ready to defend its sovereignty—on its own terms.

The Kingdom has shown patience. Iran should not mistake that for weakness.


This is expected. Every person can see Iranian attacks on its neighbors are untenable. Except ........

Right from the mouth of Benjamin Netanyahu

"We are in a campaign in which we are bringing the full strength of the IDF to the battle, as never before, in order to ensure our existence and our future. But we are also bringing to this campaign the assistance of the United States, my friend, US President Donald Trump, and the US military. This coalition of forces allows us to do what I have yearned to do for 40 years: smite the terror regime hip and thigh. This is what I promised – and this is what we shall do."


But Iran has always been the problem.
Every Friday the Ayatollahs lead chants of Death to America, Death to Israel.
They don't mean to kill a single American so that's why.

1.
604 Americans died from roadside bombs made from EFP supplied by IRGC to Iraq insurgents while thousands lost limbs
2.
US Marines keeping peace in Lebanon were blown up by Iran backed suicide bomber killing 241.
3.
1983 U.S. Embassy Bombing: A truck bomb at the U.S. embassy in Beirut, carried out by a group linked to Hezbollah, killed 17 Americans.
4.
Jordan Drone Attack (2024): An Iran-backed militia drone strike on the "Tower 22" base in Jordan killed 3 U.S. service members.

Death to Israel also means nothing ,it's just a friendly chant ,that's why Iran has supplied arns ,training and money to Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah.

Funny how you guys are only just learning about these things. Post after post, I tell you about geopolitical alliances and interests, and how Iran is not standing alone in these efforts; but your echo chambers don't show you or mention military alliances. And so you swallow BS from Mr Orange that the US will be done in 5 days. 😀😀😀😀. You thought this was Iraq.

You think China will sit back and allow Iran fall, when this war threatens its energy security?


Trump got a thorough post-attack assessment briefing on these issues by all of his military advisers in a potential all-out conflict with Iran.

He was told Iran will treat it as an existential threat, and will immediately target the fleet bases in Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait. All sitting ducks. He was briefed that critical US surveillance and air defence infrastructure in Qatar and the fifth fleet in Bahrain will be the first to be hit, as a measure to disrupt the US' capability to defend its bases carrier groups and air-borne planes/drones from missile attack. Servicemen will die.



He was also told critical energy infrastructure in the KSA and UAE will be hit as an economic and political weapon to increase the cost of waging war. Next will be the water plants in both those countries, if they decided to join the war. Oil prices will go up. Global Air travel will be heavily disrupted. People's lives will be affected.


He was also told Iran will restrict shipping across the straight of Hormuz as a measure to pile on the cost of a regional attack on Iran. Trade, energy, goods, food prices will rise significantly.


Trump was briefed on all of this..... now as 47 and way back in 2017 as 45.

But he attacked anyway because unfortunately, Israel foreign policy dictates American foreign policy.



I said the US would be in for a rude awakening. Now 5 day projection has become 5 weeks

Who is this shameless jingoist? Weren't you the same troll that said earlier Iran will not fire a single missile from its territory if the US mean them? Is it now dawning on you that Iran's drone technology is impressive? Wait until you experience improved Russian Geran-2 and 3 versions. They're just not impressive but game-changing in so much that your Lord and master had to copy it. Are you not shameless?

Take a good look at your mighty Uncle Sam, the international Goliath bully who just realized the "small David Persian boys" have bigger stones in their slingshots than he expected.

You're here talking about sinking boats like it’s some grand victory for the world's acclaimed most advanced and largest blue water navy that is currently sweating bullets and bombs because their billion-dollar aircraft carriers are just giant, overpriced targets for cheap Iranian tech.
It’s funny how you can audaciously brag about sinking the Shahed Bagheri although the US only said ‘struck’ not ‘sunk’. Out of copium, you conjure your own propaganda from thin air to get self satisfaction. Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy is burning through its entire yearly budget by just trying to intercept a single missile and drones that cost less than a Pentagon General lunch check. I just dey shame for you.
The U.S. pride and delulu is so fragile right now that they have to count every Iranian patrol boat as a major win just to keep their dignity from hitting the seafloor faster than any ship ever could. They are realizing that their fancy, over hyped power projection is starting to look like a very expensive hallucination.

Smirk all you like about the martyr, but the real joke is on the thieving U.S. MIC that is currently failing its own math test. Imagine spending trillions on stealth and advanced systems only to have your high-tech capabilities pummeled by a converted container ship and some $500 kamikaze drones. If your lord is so superior, why are they looking so frustrated and desperate for a ceasefire this early? They are so shameless in so much they said they are looking for a weak spot. It’s because Iran has turned the tables around—the planned shock and awe on the reverse. Persia has mastered the art of making the U.S. look stupidly clumsy, sluggish, and regrettably outdated. While your masters are busy polishing their fancy sleeves and ego on the front of cameras, their global influence and invisibility myth is leaking and getting shattered like a rusted pipe. They’ve spent decades bullying smaller third-world nations, but now that someone is actually hitting back with vigour, grit and ingenuity, all they can do is cry about "international order" and act like they aren't terrified of a drone made in the desert.

You even have the effrontery to talk about Iran not uplifting its people. Well, I'm not surprised. jingoists usually sees things from a microscopic viewpoint. You forgot the US is a place where people go into life-long debt just for a basic hospital visit or a university degree. You want to talk about Tehran’s water rationing, you should first talk about the pathetic and crumbling infrastructure and the mess inside the U.S as of today. Your house dey on fire but you dey here dey pursue rats.

You are so obsessed with Iran’s military spending and capabilities because you know now that if a "converted ship" can cause this much chaos for their so-called unmatched fleet, their whole fantasy of being the world's only superpower is officially over. A war with China would look like child abuse.

The strait of Hormuz is closed by Iran, I expect by now that your unmatched world best navy would have forced it open. But what do we have here, they're busy running from pillar to post in sheer confusion and fear. Their bases and logistics hubs across the Gulf has been demolished. Their planes are falling from the skies like flies. The Lincoln-led Carrier strike groups are nowhere to be found after taking fire from Tehran. No allies want to have anything to do with them. Spain has chased them out of their country like the criminals they are, and now they're packed up and jammed in Cyprus like thieves chased by an angry mob. It's now Operation Persia's Fury (OPF) instead of Operation Epic Fury.

Face the facts man. Every time an Iranian missiles or drone is airborne, a U.S. general somewhere loses sleep with heartbeats approaching stroke levels, and a billion-dollar defense contract suddenly looks like a ripoff.

It’s not about how many ships or planes you have deployed; it’s the fact that the U.S. can no longer win this projected quick war the way they envisaged it. No more regime change—that possibility is gone. Rather, it's OPF that now holds the regime change cards it can bring to bear across the gulf. By the time this war is over, Iran will end up retaining and enriching more levels of uranium and eventually getting a bomb. The US will end up losing on every angle.

Bye.
Let's wait and see.
I cannot support a regime that allows prison guards enter into a ' "nikah mut'ah" with a woman about to be executed so she doesn't get to heaven if she is a virgin.
