Someone here described Iran as a "near-peer" to the US, militarily. Can't remember if it was LordAdam, but whoever it was, was very much mistaken.

Even without nukes and after four days of this war, IRAN IS A MILITARY PEER TO THE US!

Some of those allegations about missile shortage are intended for enemies to think they are safe.
Otters are from saboteurs within America and specifically those who support Iran secretly.
I don't think America can run out of bombs , missiles and oil at any one time.
The govt can simply order industries to retool their factories towards warv efforts.

first comment on that Twitter thread. The drone was shot down causing the 🔥 fire.

For the record I have for more than 11 years in this forum called for the downfall of the iran theocracy and return of power to the hardworking talented Persians.
So I'm happy that Netanyahu and Trump are doing exactly that

A lot of people around the world are happy , quite a number of nairaland users are not.

Y'all this is a really good video of Washington DC with people in the streets celebrating the people of Iran's freedom and POTUS' operation responsible for this freedom.

Well how's it looking now?

Still safe and prosperous? Where is the US now?

UAE has enough missiles to repel the attacks from the savages


UAE Fires Back: "Our Missile Stockpile Is Rock-Solid" Amid Iranian Barrage

The United Arab Emirates has sharply rejected a Bloomberg report suggesting its air defenses — including costly Patriot and THAAD interceptors — are running dangerously low after days of Iranian drone and missile attacks.

In an official statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the claims "false and misleading," insisting the country maintains a robust strategic stockpile of munitions capable of sustaining high-volume interceptions over extended periods.

Key points from the denial:

- UAE operates diverse, multi-layered air defense systems (long-, medium-, and short-range) that deliver high-efficiency protection against the full spectrum of aerial threats.
- Interception rates remain strong, with recent official tallies showing hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones neutralized.
- The ministry reaffirmed full operational readiness and uncompromised national security framework.

The Bloomberg piece highlighted the stark cost asymmetry: Iran's cheap Shahed-style drones (~$20,000 each) force defenders to burn through million-dollar interceptors, potentially straining stocks in a prolonged attritional campaign. Qatar issued a similar denial, calling its Patriot reserves "well-stocked" and warning of potential legal action over the reporting.

With Gulf states facing sustained Iranian salvos and privately lobbying for quicker de-escalation, the back-and-forth underscores the high-stakes math of modern missile defense: defenders win intercepts but risk bleeding resources — unless the barrages stop first.

Bottom line: UAE says it's ready for the long haul. Bloomberg says the numbers don't add up. The skies will decide who's right.

Trump also said they have enough stockpiles to last forever.

China Tells Iran: "Don't Touch Qatar's LNG – Keep the Strait Open"

Amid escalating US-Israeli strikes on Iran and a near-total freeze in Strait of Hormuz tanker traffic, Beijing is quietly but firmly telling Tehran: hands off Qatari LNG and oil shipments.

According to Bloomberg, Chinese state energy executives report clear pressure from Beijing – don't target or disrupt tankers carrying liquefied natural gas and crude through the vital chokepoint.

Why the tough love from Iran's biggest oil buyer and diplomatic shield?

- China sources roughly 30-40% of its LNG from Qatar, with the Strait handling ~20% of global LNG flows.
- Any blockade would hammer Asian energy security far harder than the West (most Persian Gulf exports head east).
- Iran itself sends the bulk of its sanctioned crude to China – closing the Strait would be economic self-sabotage for Tehran.

Mario Nawfal flagged the move on X, tying it to the broader chaos: limited US evacuation options from Israel, grounded flights, and skyrocketing energy prices as Qatar's massive LNG facility shuts down and Hormuz shipping grinds to a halt.

Bottom line: Even "allies" have red lines when energy security is on the line. China isn't letting Iran turn a regional war into a global energy meltdown.

What happened to the Patriot air defence system, THAAD, David Sling, Iron Dome that the US and Israel have been positioning since last year? All scrap metal now. They were touted as the best in the world.

Did these expensive American junk save the 8 Arab countries from being hammered by Iranian missiles?? Nope. They're being obliterated day and night.

8 good countries who relied solely on American protection are taking a serious beating and the US can't do nothing about it.

Why did the US not protect its puppet leaders in Africa? Many are already in prison. Madagascar is the latest victim of weak American protection.

You talk about Syria. The same Syria that sent it's defense ministers to Moscow to purchase arms? The US has withdrawn from Syria while Syria has begged the Russian army to even expand into the southern areas.

The same Syria that signed a new deal with Russia to print their currency notes? The same Syria that has awarded Russian companies with reconstruction of their country?

You talk about Venezuela. What exactly has changed since Maduro was captured? If the US now controls Venezuelan oil, why does it still seize Venezuelan tankers? Those tankers should be delivering oil to the US without pressure.

Why is the rag tag US army still threatening Venezuela if they have fallen from Moscow’s grasp like you tell yourself? Why is the Venezuelan army still escorting their oil tankers?

Half baked victories are not victories. No matter how you spin it. Nothing has been achieved in those countries.

Just like how they spent 20 years fighting barefooted goat herders in Afghanistan and got chased out like dogs. That is what victory looks like in your fvcking thick skull.

There's a thread on front page that showed US casualties from it's war with Iran. All Africans. These are who the US send as cannon fodders. Poor Africans who were probably lured with the promise of citizenship, well they are now in their graves.

Your America cannot fight Iran without Israel, ISIS members, Gulf States fighting with it.

If they're as powerful as they claim to be, let them face Iran alone. Like Russia.

Let the gulf countries provide no bases or Intel and financial support, let's see how far they'll go.

A country living on the backs of others is not worthy to be discussed. A country whose strength relies on how much support it receives from others is not worth my time.

Go outside play with sand and when we're having a discussion about third rate ragtag militaries, we'll call you.

For now, stick to bombing fishermen and school girls. That's what you're good at.

Most of Iranian missiles have been intercepted, others whose trajectory is determined to land in deserts are ignored.
In Iran IDF and USAF are operating as though they are in open seas, no threats . The Iranians are celebrating all over as their tormentors get purged.

They are taking out the military installation, launchers , any high value target they can see.
The Iranians are claiming to have settled to a steady grind. A few missiles every day as opposed to a barrage.
A single launch is immediately spotted , and jet fighters zero in on the source, its become a deadly game for the launcher units.
Iran has united every sane country against it, by attacking countries that use America might to protect their valuable oil shipments.
China cannot be relied upon again to protect the wealthy Arabs oil. They only care about the discounted oil they get and the overhyped military weapons they sell ,hoping they will never be used

The next phase will bring in the bombers. Right now it's only fighter jets that are doing the heavy lifting. The wave touted,I surmise will be the bombers. The B-2 Spirit,the B-52: and the B1-B. These are the carpet bombers to mop up what's remaining ,they carry .A fully loaded trio of the three can carry 83 tonnes of dud bombs without the JDAM blanketing 240 acres .
Dont joke with America.

The 3 jets were shot down in friendly fire incident by Kuwait Air defences.
The anti stealth Iranian defences are in smoldering ruins.
Iranians are hiding in caves firing their hypersonics,ballistics and shaheed drones . Which are causing very few casualties esp in Israel which has enough bomb shelters. Will you be happy if a hypersonic falls on Ramallah the PLA headquarters?

I occasionally drop in here and like I posted earlier I'm not popular,actually called a troll.For stating that America military is way above the Russia, Iranians and Chinese
Iran has no navy right now, all ships are under the sea
Iran has fired hundreds of if missiles into 14 countries . Very few casualties. They are disrupting the economies of their neighbors.As I also posted the Chinese love their beautiful cities, railways, airports, seaports etc more than they love the Iranian oil.
They won't go into war with a superior force when they can have an 1876 Berlin conference and carve up Iran .Ditto Russia,none will risk a war with NATO because of Iran.
The Ayatollahs love for the virgins is not shared by all, including all those wealthy Arabian monarchies.
I foresee China esp bearing down on the Iran regime to just give up and seek asylum in other countries.

He really stopped the whole Iran from going ballistic. I think he was genuinely believed US wouldn't go this crazy. But as a leader, he took the risk and made his death a unifing force for Iran and even the entire ummah in a strange manner.

Those in charge now were the foot soldiers of Khamenei. If a new order is established they will be held responsible for crimes against Persia.
They are on a suicidal mission. If we go down so does the whole world. Maybe they think their 12th Imam will come back.

I'm under the impression that noone really wants a nuclear bomb exploding anywhere.
Both countries have a triad. Hypothetically long after the US mainland is wiped out ,submarines thousands of kilometres away could continue firing into China. Missiles in Europe would still be ravaging China
Anyone really wants that? Exclude those Ayatollahs from the anyone.They are suicidal.

Appleyard:
Read the veiled threat in that statement.

In other words, if other state actors joins the US and Israel against Iran in this ongoing war, others like Russia and China may enter the fray.

Correct . The Russia and Chinese can't defend themselves against the west. The only option is a nuclear war.
They should hammer sense into those toilet paper covered penguins (Ayatollahs ) of Iran .
The Chinese love their cities more than they love Iran. Doubt they'd want anything happening to their beautiful cities arising from the crazy antics of the Ayatollahs.
In 1886 colonialists gathered in Berlin to carve up Africa for it's resources. Russia and China would prefer the same fate for Iran rather than a nuclear war

Maybe I'm stupid to see the veiled threat as aimed at Iran leadership than a nuclear war. Maybe the Ayatollahs are more stupid to not see that.

Iran drone technology is impressive. Russia is relying on its shaheed drones
The small minds of the Ayatollah regime decided since we have Russia and other countries using our kamikaze drones, we'll go big.
We'll project our unrivalled drone power .Take a 782 ft container ship and convert it into a drone carrier. 60 drone capability,several helicopters, anti ship missiles, short range air defence systems and 30 mm auto cannons.
Throw in a hospital ,a football pitch and a dental clinic
Finally give it a unique name. Shahed Bhageri a prominent IRGC commander.
It laid the basis of ultimate global power projection. A carrier group complete with an armada of destroyers , cruisers, frigates and submarines similar to US, China, France , UK and France. Iran had arrived at the world stage , dining at the same table with the big players.

Shahed Bagheri has been sunk along with every other Iranian Navy ship, a total of 11 ships. Why is US so jealous of Iran achievements
In Arabic a shahed is a martyr, one who dies for his faith, whether he died disassembling pedestrians , church worshippers , marathoners etc don't matter.
Shahed Bagheri is under the water. Eventually will probably be the bedrock of a coral reef and a vibrant marine ecosystem. Will become a tourist attraction site for diving enthusiasts.
Iran has spent a trillion dollars over the years to build it's war capabilities instead of uplifting it's people. Money that'd ensured there's no water rationing in Tehran for example.

6 troops fell due to drone attacks at their base. I wonder if they were there having a tea party.

It's basic common sense. Military bases are not mobile, Iran has their coordinates. All they had to do was send drones towards those coordinates; these bases are not heavily guarded with air defense systems. Why not make a temporary base one to two kilometers from their base and operate from there?

Iran has attacked hotels in the ME claiming they are housing US military personnel.
China missile defense having taken a beating are providing Iran with real time intelligence via their satellites.
Iran is also using Chinese GPS system for their missiles. It's said they were able hit this $1.2 billion radar dome in Qatar with help from China

Kind of what America does in Ukraine. US Boeing P-8A Poseidon operating outside of Ukraine conveys to Ukraine forces the precise locations of Russia. Putin can do nothing about this

There is a possibility the conflict could escalate if in an extreme act, America decided that China is direct combatant.

Exactly why I'm unpopular here. Because I pointed out rhat America military might is too advanced for Russia and China.

Their defense systems have been torn to shreds within the last one year .

Who don't know some missiles will slip through air defences.
Russia sold the S-300 defence to Iran as most capable defence capable of downing F-22, F-35 and B-2. None exists today thanks to IDF.

China last year sold HQ-9B to Iran last year , to down the same as above. None exists today , were all silenced in first wave

Venezuela -- Chinese radar and missile system marketed as formidable with anti stealth capabilities . Bliown up, soldiers with shotguns and portable manpads outperformed the $2 billion dollar system.

Which country in it's right mind will buy Russia or Chinese air defence systems? Iran and Venezuela can sue Russia and China at the international court.

What she said:

Siding with Ayatollahs who rape women prisoners before killing them to ensure they don't go to heaven.

The "Heaven" Belief: Documentation from the UN Special Representative on Human Rights in Iran and groups like Justice for Iran details a belief among some Iranian prison authorities that executing a virgin would guarantee her entry into heaven.
Forced Marriage Rituals: To prevent this "undeserved" salvation, some guards allegedly subjected young women to "temporary marriage" (rape) the night before execution.
Post-Execution Notions: Families have reported receiving "wedding sweets" or a small dowry from prison officials after an execution, which was interpreted as a mocking notification that their daughter had been "married" and raped before her death.
