Iran is confirming their losses. Israel isn't

Hope he recovers soon

What is Nigeria still doing in CommonWealth?

ViceGovernor:
Right now whoever attacks Israel and is on their border will lose land to Israel, it's a fact not a maybe 🤔.

Those their neighbors are people whose ancestors paid tribute 12 times a year to the dynasty of King 👑 Solomon and King David and many other kings who ruled the entire middle East from Israel down to the borders of Egypt.

It is well documented in the 1st and 2nd annals of the Kings of Israel, all those land belong to Israel and they will definitely take it back.

They lost some lands because of the then world power Nebuchadnezzar who invaded Israel, displaced the Israelites, desecrated the Holy Temple and took thousands of them captive diminishing their population and development by more than half.

We would not be hearing of these Arab land grabbers today if the same Arab ancestors hadn't invaded their neighbors in olden days.
The same rubbish Hamas did on October 7.
Now Gaza is forever Israeli land.
Syria also tried it and now they will have to ask for permission before passing through the Golan heights (the highest point in the whole country)

Lebanon will do something fulleesh and they will find out very soon.

I mean, why bother with pesky things like international law, UN resolutions, or contemporary treaties when we have the 1st and 2nd annals of the Kings of Israel? Clearly every modern state should just check their family tree and start reclaiming land. Makes perfect sense.

Oh do you have a bible for me? Or perhaps The Torah? So that I can fully grasp this your Methuselah-era geopolitical analysis.

Arrowhead71:
All were originally Israeli heritage...but stolen away

Says who? Ben Gurion?

QuinQQ:
Not true. All movements accross Hormuz are way down. See below

Yes movements across Hormuz strait are way down, I wonder why. China vessels still move freely. Yes China will still be affected due to global energy price but at least its industries and society will function albeit at higher price. The other countries that rely heavily on the Strait of Hormuz will be at the brink of total shutdown in few weeks if the Strait of Hormuz remain closed.

QuinQQ:
Well, if closure of Hormuz is skyrocketing oil prices in China (which it is), and securing it will benefit China a lot (which it will), WHY NOT??!!

Trump is doing exactly what a seasoned businessman would do. Different from what a clueless career politician would do!

Oil prices rising is not the same thing as China facing an energy crisis. Even if prices increase, China is still receiving oil shipments while many Western-aligned tankers are avoiding the Strait of Hormuz. That means China is dealing with a price shock, while others risk actual supply disruption. So from Beijing’s perspective, the incentive to intervene militarily to fix a crisis largely created by Washington is far weaker than you think.

Price increase = manageable economic cost (Especially for a country like China)
Supply cut = energy crisis.

That's economics and geopolitics 101 and a "seasoned businessman" should know that.....at least the economics part.

Maybe if Israel abandon the idea of Greater Israel. Maybe if they stop encroaching on other people's land. Just maybe.

China's vessels move freely in the strait of hormuz. Why should China care? Couple of months ago, Trump threatened China with tariffs, then made a U-turn because he realised that China processes the rare earth minerals that the United States Military industrial complex depends on.

On a side (but relative) note, relationship between China, Russia and Iran is getting stronger. US lost in Ukraine against Russia and losing against Iran in an unprovoked war of aggression. A wounded eagle won't do much when the time comes for China to rightfully take Taiwan. World power is shifting.

Trump - "I hold all the cards"
Xi Jinping - "The cards are made in China"

Petrol and food is not a problem for Deputy American associations of Nigeria and the Nigerian Zionists. I’m sure Massa is taking care of the situation. Massa only needs to wipe out the terrorist regime in Iran and we will all live in peace and the world will flow with milk and honey.

“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. … Behind the terrorism [by the Arabs] is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice.”


Quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a David Ben Gurion.1938 speech.

Ben Gurion is the first Israel Prime Minister.

I wonder why they are a nation of widows and orphans when they are literally dragging their men off the road to go die for Zenelensky.

Another propaganda. iranintl.com is an anti-Islamic State of Iran

China is slowly and strategically entering the scene. It was only two days ago that thousands of Chinese fishing boats massed in geometric formations in the East China Sea near Taiwan. But the thing is....they weren't fishing.

Biodun1929:
Or Euro-Asia war, with America (Europe overseas) coming in later.. Africa is always safe during world wars cos e no dey ever reach our side.

No, Africa is not "always safe" during world wars. At least 10 African countries including Nigeria were involved in both world wars.

Most African countries were colonies at the time, not independent states. So African soldiers fought under European colonial powers such as United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and Italy. If WW3 breaks out, it will sure "reach your side".

Know your history.

False flag again. Anything to justify their foothold in Nigeria

Just 500 million? That's if it didn't resort to a nuclear armageddon. And please stop referring to the wars as World War. It has always been European wars, they just dragged the rest of the world into it.

Switzerland just closed airspace for US Military flights. This is Netanyahu’s war. Whatever information in the Epstein files that Netanyahu may be using to blackmail Trump must be extremely significant.

"We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!" Trump to UK

He got the Straits of Hormuz closed then asks every other nations to commit suicide trying to reopen it. I know Kier Starmer and Macron are dumb but they're not that dumb.

"If the strait is blocked, send ships. If the ships hesitate, send tweets. A message travels faster than a fleet.” - Don Tzu (The Art Of War)

Oh by the way, Iran may have clipped Netanyahu.

China is not affected by the closure, Iran allow them passage. China is also an ally and the biggest buyer of Iranian oil. France has already said they won't be sending any warship there, neither will UK. Japan and South Korea too will NEVER dare send ship to the strait of hormuz. Trump is cornered - can't proceed, can't withdraw either and Iran has again rejected another ceasefire. In the meantime, world economy will take a hit.

Japan’s Ministry of Industry - "We intend to release part of the national petroleum reserves, starting in late March"

British Finance Minister - "We are ready to release oil reserves to address the energy crisis."

French Economy Minister - "The crisis is hitting the world, we are starting to use our oil reserves."

Chairman of the US Senate Intelligence Committee - "We do not have sufficient strategic petroleum reserves due to democratic policies. There may be tough days ahead."

What's that acronym again? Something about F-ing around and finding out?

LagosOrigin:
Oga sit your ass down in one place abeg. You talk as if Nigerians have been enjoying under this useless Islamic terrorist government of tinubu APC .

Let America scatter what's left of Iran like they are currently doing .. its for the world to have peace and we like it.

If "dense" was a person.

Cost concerns for Nigerians? You mean cost concerns for Nigerian Zionists and Deputy American associations of Nigeria too??

Everyone will learn history and geopolitics by force. Oh and maybe geography too

Razzness:
It's like the US doesn't seem to know anything about Shiites.
Growing up, I barely knew anything about Shiites, other than the usual conspiracy theories about how evil they are. So because of this war, I decided to do a deep dive on what Shia is all about. Basically, the Shia sect were originally a group of Muslims who believed that after the death of Prophet Muhammad, his cousin Ali bin Abu-Talib should have become the leader of Muslims (this is a reasonable stance), but the other Muslims chose Abubakar since he was the one whom the prophet regarded as his deputy during his life (this is also reasonable). The problem started when Ali was killed and Mua'awiyya hijacked the leadership position. Shiites believe Hassan or Hussein, who were the grandchildren of the prophet, should have become the leader. But Hassan and Hussein refused to accept Mu'awiyya; they fled the city of Mecca, and Mu'awiyya hunted them with 3,000 men and murdered them in the most gruesome means possible. He killed all 71 of Hussein's family and companions.

This was where conventional Shia Islam was born. those who defied the brutality of Mu'awiyya and chose death over servitude. This is the very foundation on which Shia Islam is built. Do not oppress, and do not be oppressed. So when Israel was oppressing Palestinians, they took it upon themselves to be their protectors. When Blacks were oppressed in South Africa during apartheid, Iran was the first to offer help. When they arrested hundreds of American soldiers during the revolution, Khomenei released only women and Black soldiers (he told them they suffered enough).

So if the US and Israel think they can threaten, kill, or bribe Shiites into submission, they are in for a big disappointment. These are people whose faith is built on sacrifice and blood.
Iran's only crime today is that they refused to turn a blind eye to the atrocities of Israel in Palestine, like the Saudis and the Qataris. If they had done so, they would be living large by now.

They really do stand by the oppressed, they supported the struggles of Democratic Republic of the Congo against the imperial demons. I should add that Iran also named a street in Tehran after Patrice Lumumba to honour his legacy after Belgium and USA murdered him. The street is called:

Patrice Lumumba St.
Tehran Province, Tehran,
District 2, Iran.

But the uninformed who probably watch too much Hollywood movies and CNN will tell you that Iran is a terrorist nation while romanticising the real terrorists.

Angelfrost:
Trump is gambling hugely with this Iranian war...!

If he fails to overcome that nation, the fallout will be cataclysmic for America's world power image for decades to come.

I'm sure China and Russia are banking on this... They might even be secretly helping Iran sef.


I just wish the rest of the world didn't have to suffer the consequences of this pointless dick measuring contest... Mtchewwwww!

Indeed, alliance of Russia, China and Iran brings power to the global south. That means USA will lose the Gulf Cooperation Council - Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE etc because they now know that security guarantee they signed with the USA is a mirage. If USA loses the Middle East, that would spell the end for Israel.

China would take Taiwan almost certainly, South Korea would feel very exposed and vulnerable, they would have no choice than to align with the power in the eastern sphere which is China. Japan and Singapore would probably follow suit. That is a death blow to the USA and they know it and can't afford to lose the war in Iran. It's a war of survival for the hegemony.

I know geopolitics rarely shifts in such a linear way but these are very realistic scenarios that could very well play out depending on the trajectory of this war. And yes China and Russia are certainly helping Iran, at least with Intelligence.

Iranian president walked around Tehran today. Why didn't someone arrest him? USA placed a $10 million bounty on Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa who was an ISIS member. Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa is now the president of Syria shaking hands with Western world leaders. Let that sink in.

Oh by the way, Iran has just struck 5 more US Air Force Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker refuelling planes at Prince Sultan airbase in Saudi Arabia.

Cost of war. That's roughly 1 billion dollars or more, lost in service revenue alone for both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Aonkuuse:
Ok lets blame Tinubu and praise US/Israel for a needless war

You get! The dumbos can't connect any dots.

CaseSensitive:
The United Nations: USA chose war over peace

Colombia: This is an illegal war

Spain: We have declined USA access to our airbase

Human Rights Watch: USA bombed and murdered 160 school girls in a missile strike

China: USA killed a sovereign leader

Italy: This war violates international law

Russia: This is a preplanned unprovoked aggression

Norway: We oppose escalation

Pakistan: This is a violation of international law

Indonesia: We are withdrawing our Board of Peace membership due to USA military attacks and escalation.

Zionist Nigerians & Deputy American association of Nigeria: America na your mate? America dey give ayatollah wotowoto. America is sending the ayatollah terrorist to their 72 virgins hahaha.

Me: Who told you Iran is a terrorist state?

Deputy American Associations of Nigeria: BBC, CNN, UK, USA!

Me: Ok, but who have they attacked? Nigeria?

Zionist Nigerians: YES! they sponsor terrorism in Nigeria!

Me: Who told you that? You have any proof? I thought USA said it's China sponsoring terrorism in Nigeria?

Deputy American Associations of Nigeria: America said it, so I don't need proof. Whatever they say is the truth. China and Iran are both sponsoring terrorism in Nigeria. Oh and Russia too!

Me: How much did you buy a litre of diesel last week?

Zionist Nigerians - ₦945

Me: How much did you buy diesel today?

Deputy American Associations of Nigeria: ₦1620

Me: Wow why’s that?

Zionist Nigerian: TINUBU!!!!!

Me: (Laughs in inflation) Bunch of ode oponu afofungbemu akindanidani.

The plane was attacked by Iranian P385 Surface to Air missile in Iraq. Said it in the early hours of this morning that all 6 crew members died but USA prefer to lie and spoon feed information. To give them benefit of doubt, they may have been searching for the remains of the remaining two.

I'd like to think India acted in good faith regarding the unarmed Iranian warship that was attacked by America while returning to Iran from India. Otherwise, India deserves to be punished too, act of Judas should not be tolerated within the BRICS ranks. But I'd like to think there's more to the way India managed the relationship than meets the eye.

Noblechykk:
When it comes to deaths recorded in war, U.S government do not lie about figures. They can lie about too many other things but not the death of their sevicemen. The reason is simple, every serviceman has either a parent, siblings or a friend. And once the person becomes incommunicado for some days, alarm would be raised. In America, the government is accountable to the people. Just one cover up can bring down the government

You're right to give legitimacy to their code of conduct but this is not a normal war, it's a war of desperation and poll suggests only 16% of Americans supports the war, so even though alarm would be raised when a soldier goes offline, Trump's administration has every reasons to hide that alarm from the whole world at least in the short term, though my initial comment was about the injured soldiers rather than the dead but again, I don't think US will come out and announce casualty (dead) straightaway as it happened.

Late last night for example, I read OSINT report that says one of America's refuelling aircraft was hit by an Iranian Surface to Air missile and all 6 crew members on board didn't make it, then CENTCOM came out to say the plane crash was not due to enemy fire, and 4 crew members lost their lives out of 6. It was a lie.

False flag. No one is falling for it.

Thought little Napoleon Macron was going to sail his warship through the Strait of Hormuz? He lost a soldier already and many more French soldiers wounded, he now probably came to his senses that there's a high probability he'd lose more and realised that negotiation is a lot sustainable than escalation.

I actually think this is a historic development in the sense that, in the past, wars are coordinated among "allies" with USA being the Commander-In-Chief. They all share the loss and share the spoils of war but USA decided to go into this war alone because there's been a crack in their alliance. Now allies realise that they are on their own and independently trying to negotiate passage with Iran. Interesting times ahead.
