Breaking News:

Iran Rejects US Proposal for 48 hrs Ceasefire.

This just came in fresh from Reuters.

A US F15 fighter jet was also shot down by Iran today.

REPEAT:

IRAN REJECTS US PROPOSAL FOR 48 HR CEASEFIRE.

WhiteIverson:
Nigeria should develop missiles so Boko Haram, ISWAP and fulani bandits can collect it from the military and use it against civilians. Your country is borrowing to fund the budget but yet you want to develop missiles 😂😂😂
Abi na sand them dey use do missiles 😂😂😂
If you like don't fix the insecurity first be running mouth as if the West is your problem.

Ditch your stupid smiley emojis and stop talking ignorant rubbish.

Missiles are kept in the front or back yard for bandits to collect, in your village thoughts.

The America you worship, do you know they owe trillions of dollars?

otipoju:
Embezzlement, mismanagement, tribalism, incompetence is not the problem?

All that did not prevent us from building all the infrastructure you enjoy today, from thousands of schools and universities to flyovers to brand new capitals to satellites to world's largest refinery in the making, to indigenous vehicle manufacturers, which you ignore as if it all dropped from the sky after the British colonial looters left a big fat bush here.

IF WE COULD DO ALL THAT SINCE THE 1960 BUSH WE INHERITED, WE CAN DO MORE, AND WILL.

FarahAideed:
With which brain ? 65 IQ?

Nigerians invented IRON SMELTING, without which you and the white dullards you worship would be sitting in filthy caves twiddling your fingers in the Stone Age.

Understood?

Dogalmighty17:
Have you seen our military? Do you think there's any smart person among them? The level of expertise, knowledge and skill set required to successfully develop, launch and target a missile is not what the Nigerian military will ever be capable of.

Ever?

Your low self esteem is tragic. You need therapy.

Number one, you are talking about hypergolic fuels. We lack the ability to handle that safely.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

WHAT RESEARCH HAVE YOU DONE TO MAKE SUCH A CATEGORICAL STATEMENT?

Then you talk about the targeting system and the onboard electronics. Should I even say more here?

Then you talk about the explosive warhead itself. We can't even make gun powder for bullets. How then can we develop high end explosives used in missiles?

Mr "We Can't" ....Keep up with the news before making such silly statements. Nigeria is not standing still.

The Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON) partnered with SPARTA to begin manufacturing gunpowder by August 2026, with plans to produce 30 million rounds of ammunition annually to reduce import reliance.

TallNigerian:
Would you like to first of all compare the GDP of these countries you mentioned with that of Nigeria?

Secondly, those two countries you mentioned are arch rivals and have genuine threats of external aggression that the wise poster mentioned above.

Pakistan's GDP is $370 billion and Nigeria's is around $300 billion, with similar population, so....?

Also, no one is saying we should spend a huge amount of money on this.

Just a decent stockpile of long-range missiles to serve as a deterrent.

We should be able to develop some of these cutting edge things even without there being an immediate threat.

Or is it when the threat surfaces that we will start learning? By then it will be too late!

TallNigerian:
okay, you that have the city way of reasoning, eliminate them simultaneously. Why haven't you put your city brain into use to help in solving the insecurity challenges "simultaneously"? Or does your brain go on break during the first half of the year?

City brain that you are using to ask questions that even kindergarten kids will never stoop so low to ask. Chai

This is crazy. Is Nigeria the only country with insecurity?

Do you know there is more insecurity in America than in Nigeria?

India, Pakistan, and all these countries building these stuff, you think they don't have problems in those countries?

In India and Pakistan they take light everyday, and they have terrorists.

Yet they are building missiles, nuclear weapons, and even going to the moon!

shox:
Basic things like poverty reduction, mass reeducation, power and internal security una never achieve, missile ke

And btw, naija go chop sanctions, things go tight so tey you go pack your load go Togo
Don’t try walking before crawling,

Nyen nyen nyen... Mr Poverty Reduction....You don't know that your Poverty is ultimately tied to your having to answer to these people?

Having to play their game?

Your type are so used to subservience to the west that you see it as normal and a matter of course. But it's actually by dropping your subservience like China, through inter alia, a powerful military, that you get rid of Poverty.

Because with military confidence, your economic policies become more nationalist and bolder against imperialist demands.

Adexvivacity:
Those moraphuxkers will attack us before we achieve that.....They are attacking Iran cos they dont want Iran to get to their level.

Can't we hide and do it?

There is all kinds of forest regions and other favourable topography to do that sort of thing beyond the reach of any oyinbo mumu looking for his fada..

SHUT UP.

Mr kind hearted Angel who supports the genocide in Gaza while calling another person "heartless".

The Nigerian military needs to start learning how to build those Iranian-style missiles and drones.

They are inexpensive, but can cause so much damage to any so-called superpower that tries to impose its will on us.

We also need to build those underground cities and storage areas like Iran, to keep the missiles safe from any stupid foreigners wanting to bomb them.

Iran has shown that you don't need a trillion dollar budget to defend your territory from these western bullies.

We need to build cruise missiles that can reach every European capital, plus America.

And of course some cooperation with Pakistan, India or China coud give us early nuclear weapons capability, just to top it all up.

God1000:
From Spain to Italy, France and now Austria


Europe has finally woken up, the end of American empire is here


US is now a terr@rist country that no sane nation wants to associate with

Honestly....see disgrace.

Austria too...chei...

Evil man drenched in hate.

Tufiakwa.

That's a war crime.

Targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime under international law.

lionshare:
That’s nonsense! There’s no excuses for such crap—does it mean the security can’t guarantee the safety of the number 1 citizen where then is the hope of the average citizen.

R

MAYBE THEY CAN'T.

When you're dealing with terrorists, it's not as if they wear a sign on their foreheads that says ''TERRORIST''.

If Tinubu goes to the affected area now, and someone there, even someone posing as a guard or cleaner, is a suicide bomber waiting for Tinubu, who takes him out, then what?

His security personnel obviously told him ''Sir, we can't go into the affected area. We stay at the airport''.

IF YOU WERE THE PRESIDENT AND YOUR SECURITY TEAM TOLD YOU THAT, YOU WILL DISAGREE WITH THEM BECAUSE YOU ARE SUPERMAN?

Tinubu has a wife and kids, and will not die on top of Nigeria matter for you people.

WHEN IT'S OBI'S TURN, TELL HIM TO GO INTO SAMBISA FOREST itself.

The illegal, unilateral invasion of Iran that could send the world into global depression, must have happened when the UN Secretary-General was sleeping, apparently.

For him to leave that one and be talking about sexual habits in Africa.

Useless human being.

udemzyudex:
Stop spreading propaganda on Nairaland.

You dey fear?

Or you think Israel and America are the only countries with power abi?

Una never see anything.

Wait till Russia put mouth join..🙄

Dictator.

What else do you expect?

Same stupid country that preaches 'democracy' and 'rule of law' to other countries.

Hopeless.

Nuclear giant China has warned Israel to get out of Lebanon.....or else...

People just died in jos.

Over 40 killed and over 80 injured.


We can't just move on like nothing happened.


Just because no one you know is a victim currently doesn't mean it won't be your turn tomorrow.

A mother held her dying Son for God's sake.
And no single statement from the feds yet.
Yelewata was forgotten same way.

Omoooo... the best thing you can do is not to chicken out from any form of speaking out or any form of protest. And kick out this govt come 2027.

YOU CARE SO MUCH FOR "40 KILLED IN JOS", WHILE DANCING WITH JOY FOR "400,000 KILLED IN GAZA"

AND "4,000 KILLED IN IRAN".

WAS IT NOT THE SAME GOD THAT CREATED BOTH SETS OF PEOPLE?

MR FAKE OUTRAGE.

THE VIOLENCE WILL STOP ONLY WHEN YOU STOP ELEVATING THE SUFFERING OF ONE SET OF PEOPLE OVER THE SUFFERING OF OTHERS.

OKAY?

Razzness:
You are just reaffirming my point. It's how our brains evolved: always focusing on the things that are not right. It is what drives human evolution and civilization. There are a lot of examples from this same Nigeria in the 50s, 80s, early 2000s, and now that I could use to buttress this point, but I really don't have the energy to type this evening. Not just Nigeria; if you look at even the countries we look up to, their citizens still say the same thing: their country is worse than it was in so-and-so era. It's always like that. Even in our personal lives, it's like that. I am not saying we are where we would want to be or that we should stop holding our governments accountable. But to think we are where we are or worse than we were 20 or 50 years ago is what psychologists describe as negativity bias or rosy retrospection.

DON'T MIND THESE LAZY NIGERIAN YOUTHS.

TODAY YOU CAN SIT DOWN AT HOME OR IN THE VILLAGE FOR 3 MONTHS. LEARN FOREX TRADING FOR FREE ON YOUTUBE, AND BE BANKING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A MONTH shortly thereafter.

BOYS OF 16 YEARS OLD ARE DOING IT IN THIS NIGERIA.

THERE'S A CAMEROON GUY ON YOUTUBE (AJIM MACZY)...

All he does is sit in his room and be HYPING NIGERIA. Just talking. Facing the camera.

He now has over 50k subs and banks at least $2,000 a month. (N2.7 million).

From his room in Cameroun!

YOU THAT YOU ARE HERE IN NIGERIA, you wake up daily to abuse Tinubu and Nigeria on Nairaland.

YOU CAN USE THAT SAME TIME AND DATA and go round with your camera filming new infrastructure, city tours, mansions, even villages if you like. Upload to your YouTube channel consistently, and within 3 months, you're swimming in dollars.

Do you know that today, you can go on CHATGPT AI and name your VILLAGE, and tell it you are there, with ZERO NAIRA, but want to start a profitable business. And tell it to give you say 10 solid ideas to choose from, with full step-by-step instructions plus Business Plan, etc for each, and you'll get it in 3 seconds.

It will even show you artisans and suppliers and dealers in or near your village, that you knew nothing about. ALL FOR FREE.

THAT IS WHAT 2BABA IS TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE HE GREW UP IN A NIGERIA WHERE SUCH OPPORTUNITIES WERE THE STUFF OF DREAMS AND FAIRYTALES..

Where hustling meant GETTING UP DAILY AND ENTERING MOLUE in the hot sun for whatever meeting or hustle you have..

Today, you can just arrange a Zoom meeting from your bedroom.

So when 2BABA is talking, these children on Nairaland need to shut up.

How Iran plans to fight US troops if Trump invades

Tehran has spent four decades and billions of dollars preparing to counter a ground operation


The Telegraph (UK)

Should Donald Trump order American soldiers to seize Iran’s uranium, they would not fight insurgents hiding among civilian populations or terrorists in the shadows.

Instead, they would be up against an enemy unlike any the US military has confronted in a generation: an organised army of hundreds of thousands of fighters who see dying in defence of their homeland as their highest purpose.

Tehran’s army is but one obstacle American special forces would face after Iran has spent four decades and billions of dollars preparing for a ground invasion by the US.

Its defensive architecture is based on multiple interlocking layers, each designed to counter different threats at different ranges and altitudes.

Mr Trump’s plan to seize 450kg of near-weapons-grade uranium, should Tehran decline to give it up, could see the ultimate test of these preparations.

The mission would require hundreds of troops on the ground in Iran at one or more nuclear sites in a high-risk strategy.

US forces would have to fight their way inland and fly over Iran’s mountain defences, sites designed specifically to resist such attacks, package radioactive material while under fire, then fight back through a country where a million people have been mobilised for defence.


Such an invasion plan would require “potentially the largest special forces operation in history”, said James Stavridis, a retired US admiral and former Nato commander.

Iran’s most sensitive nuclear sites occupy positions chosen specifically to complicate American military options.

Each site is more than 600 miles from the nearest potential staging areas – US bases in the Persian Gulf states or aircraft carriers in surrounding waters.

That distance alone is a logistical challenge for any ground or air force attempting to reach, secure and extract material from multiple locations simultaneously.

The terrain also functions as a defensive system. The Zagros Mountains – stretching about 1,000 miles across western Iran with very high peaks – form a natural barrier between the coast and the interior where key sites are located.

Even if American forces somehow reached the exteriors of nuclear sites away from the islands, they would confront the prospect of fighting their way through collapsed tunnels while defenders inside destroyed equipment, and possibly the uranium stockpile itself as a final resort.

Iran’s defensive doctrine relies not on preventing American forces from entering the country – a military impossibility against US air power and capability – but on making any incursion unsustainable through sustained attrition.

“If the US somehow manages to evade attacks and successfully land forces on Iranian islands like Kharg, Bu Musa, or Larak, there remains a fundamental problem with holding them, even for a short period,” state media reported over the weekend.

The primary defensive burden falls on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which has spent decades preparing the defensive layers for asymmetric warfare against technologically superior forces.

The system evolved from lessons learnt during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war, when Iraqi missile attacks on Iranian cities revealed critical vulnerabilities.

The outermost defensive ring consists of long-range air defence systems designed to detect and destroy threats at extreme distances and altitudes.

The middle defensive layer uses medium-range systems with high mobility, designed to engage fighters, cruise missiles and drones at intermediate distances.

Iran also produces a range of man-portable air defence systems including the Misagh and Shahab Saqeb – lightweight shoulder-fired missiles effective against helicopters and low-altitude aircraft, deployable by individual soldiers for point defence.

A ground invasion would present far greater risks for the US than its air attacks do
It claims to have organised over one million fighters for ground combat, a figure that includes IRGC forces, Basij militia and volunteers.

While actual combat effectiveness remains unknown, the numbers present a challenge for any occupation force.

“The biggest mistake America would make after starting this war would be entering Iran by ground, and it makes no difference whether it’s Kharg Island or any other island,” said Eshaq Jahangiri, the former vice-president of Iran.

“Once upon a time, some countries drew red lines saying they might occupy one of Iran’s islands, and officials during the war responded that ‘occupiers must cross through a sea of blood to occupy one inch of Iran’s soil’. That sentence remains the definitive answer of Iranians.”

If American forces were able to seize nuclear sites, the mission’s objective would be to remove 450kg of enriched uranium.

This is a unique challenge that goes beyond conventional military operations.

Weapons-grade uranium requires specialised handling, transport containers and decontamination procedures.

Forces would need to bring equipment to safely package radioactive material while under potential attack, then transport it hundreds of miles back to secure areas.

The uranium exists in multiple forms at multiple sites.

Some are in gaseous form in centrifuges, while some have been converted to powder or metal for research purposes – and most of it is “under rubble,” after the sites were bombed last year, according to Iranian officials.

Extracting it all would require not just capturing sites but maintaining control long enough for specialists to identify, package and prepare transport material – hours or days during which Iranian forces would concentrate every available asset on preventing exactly that outcome.

Iran has also made clear that any American ground operation would trigger regional escalation.

Military officials warned they would open “other fronts as a surprise” if US troops landed, a threat that encompasses attacks on state infrastructure in the Gulf, American bases across the Middle East and potentially closing the Bab al-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea in addition to the Strait of Hormuz.

Tehran’s explicit goal is to make any American ground operation in Iran simultaneously trigger costs across the Middle East that far exceed the value of the mission itself.

State media has published analyses suggesting that opening multiple simultaneous fronts would force American commanders to choose between continuing operations inside Iran or defending vulnerable assets elsewhere.

The closest historical parallel may be the attempted rescue of American hostages in Tehran in 1980, which ended in disaster in a desert 200 miles short of the capital.

That mission involved fewer than 200 troops attempting to reach a single location in Tehran and rescue 52 people.

The scale difference between that operation and seizing nuclear material from multiple fortified sites hundreds of miles apart shows the exponential increase in difficulty.

More recent experience in Iraq and Afghanistan demonstrates the challenges of sustained ground operations in hostile territory filled with armed forces ready for martyrdom.

Even with local allies and secure supply lines, American forces found maintaining control over territory costly and difficult.

Iran offers neither friendly populations in most areas nor secure logistics routes from friendly bases.

Defenders fight on familiar ground, operate on interior lines that allow rapid reinforcement, and will fiercely fight for their homeland.

Every tactical advantage seems to belong to Iran. But it is a test neither side has ever faced before.

Originalsly:
These countries blindly supported the US for one reason .... security ... military protection by the most powerful military. Now that Iran has stood up to the mighty one and have them scrambling for help ...these countries are asking themselves....if the US can't prot ct itself from Iran how can they protect us? ...and Iran has warned any country that supports US military will hear from them. Iran has backed up its words . Why would they now open themselves to collect missiles by allowing the US to use their bases? These countries are now making calls to China for military cooperation.

American presence and influence is the middle east is over.

Owologbo:
How many of the terrorists are U.S?
Always blaming others for your failures.

USE YOUR BRAIN.

He said America secretly funds and supports terrorist groups to further its agenda.

And your response is ''How many of the terrorists are U.S?''

You get sense at all?

SlavaUkraini:
Iran is winning the War indeed 😂😂😂😂😂

With no Navy

With no Airforce and Air Defence

With a Supreme Leader that is Indisposed and Injured

With a shrinking missile and drones arsenal

With weapons Manufacturing bases blown up on a daily basis

With their underground missiles cities fast becoming a tomb for the soldiers operating there...

Very soon their Energy infrastructure would go up in flames 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

Hurray... Iran is winning the War 😂😂😂

That you feel a need to write a list enough proof you have not won.

Winners don't do this.

Truthissupreme:
USA can't go in, trump is also using threat tactics to get Iran into a deal but Iran doesn't want or isn't fearing the threat of invasion

Invasion is a long war and trump can't foot it, Iran simply knows trump would bark and exit this war with nothing to show for it.

He has achieved nothing that is why he keeps telling you he destroyed nuclear weapon that he claimed he destroyed last year.

Is it ballistic missile he has destroyed that Iran still has to be bombing Israel?

Is it weaken that he weaken Iran, that it's proxies are more energized to join Iran rather than been scared?

Is it homuz he has been able to open?

Is it regime change and installing a new pro America leader he has been able to achieve?

Nothing he has achieved aside failure, Iran simply needs to outlive him for a win not to go head to head which is the way you people see victory

And Iran is winning in that regard

Oga, America is finished.

Even the fact they have someone like Trump as their president should tell you the country is finished.

It's going in the way of Rome, Babylon, Assyria, and other foolish empires of history that thought they were invincible.

Truthissupreme:
Babylon has simply fallen

Can't imagine the day nations would be talking back at supposed world power let alone questioning it's decision

It is simply challenging America morality to dictate as they like since the Greenland debate till now

IT'S ALL IN THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS!

BABYLON THE GREAT HAS FALLEN!!

Axis313:
I watched the video, very soon the aggressors will start forming victims and calling on Dullard Trump to come and rescue them from "genocide".
The traditionalists were on their own jeje, before the pastors went and desecrated their diety.
I loved the return match from the traditionalists, infact I think they should have tried one juju for the pastors body.

I swear! 🤣

I'm so happy with this news!

God bless those Traditional Religionists.

I'm so sick and tired of these IMPORTED, INVADER RELIGIONS like Christianity and Islam.

All they've done is sow division and hate among Africans, as well as the psychological damage of worshipping solely white/Arab looking deities posing as the "only true" way to salvation. BLOODY LIES and RUBBISH.
