Sometimes the way u see geopolitics is very shortsightedness
If to say trump nor tear Obama deal, with Iran all these won't happen
Why isreal prime minister nor attack Lebanon when bush dey office?
Why Benjamin natayenhu nor attack Lebanon when Obama dey office?
Why Benjamin natayenhu nor attack Lebanon when Clinton dey office?
If you didn't killed those 168 innocent children all this for nor happen now u are saying innocent country
So the children are not innocent?
Iran should close the straight of Hormuz,
A deal is a deal
American is a terrorists and a dictator calling me a dictator
So Lebanon na terrorists isreal na God pikin grin
American send in guns to the Kurdish to instigate protest in Iran for regime change why?
So na Iran dey send guns come Nigeria?

Foreign AffairsRe: You Could’ve Been The Greatest’: Trump Faces Israeli Anger Over Iran Deal by Mattswaggz: 9:53pm On Jun 20
The relationship between Israel and America is more than the eyes can see......this rift won't change that.

Meanwhile Israeli's should try and understand that the political rift in the US differs with that of Israel thereby understanding while Trump has to think twice before acting sometimes....while most Americans will readily bend if they're made uncomfortable a little (higher energy prices in this case)....Israeli's on the other hand have a strong resolve when it comes to dealing with their enemies.....they go brutal and face every challenge head on.....it will surprise a lot of people to realize that Bibi that they're looking as a brutal leader is being viewed as weak by a lot of Israeli's......these guys are accustomed to war and when you price you'll pay in 10 folds.

All you mentioned weren't in terms of earnings and prices coefficients.foods were relatively cheap because alot people still farms and people in the villages would send foods stuff to their people in the cities, electricity we have always paying what we don't used.
Point is they were cheap.....all these explanations are by the way.

HacheNoire:
Back Israel from behind you said?

So what happens to US assets and interest in the Middle East?

You feel Iranians don’t have intelligence units or brains to know what’s cooking.

You also forgot a total collapse of oil production and trade spells doom for the Petro dollar due to a sharp and massive decline in demand for USD.

US intelligence are smarter than you. They know what’s at stake and why they would never adopt your suggestion.

Your statement is born out of Hollywood war films.
The backing here is weapon supply as usual and Iran have no grounds to attack US assets in the middle east because of that......Iran should be well aware that the US can do very terrible things to them if they attack unprovoked and I am not sure using humans are shield will save them this time around.

God1000:
The message from Iran is clear, each time israel attacks Lebanon, the strait of Hormuz will be shut down


The Strait of Hormuz is gonna be open and closed more than our fridge itself in the kitchen

Trump BP will be rising every now and then, the man will be like which kind Wahala be this na
Then everyone should forget about the strait and get used to the present energy prices because Israel wouldn't fold their arms and watch Hezbollah undermine it's security.
Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Shuts Strait Of Hormuz by Mattswaggz: 7:57pm On Jun 20
The world should brace up and get used to the high energy prices because such black mail doesn't work on Israel and Iran should be well aware that it will see dangerous things in the long run as well as a gradual damage of it's relationship with it's neighbors and a lot of countries around the world affected by the unjust closure of the strait.

Funnily, Netanyahu is seen as being too weak in Israel right now😂
This is the country I wish to be a citizen of.
Noticed how the media conspicuously left out the part that states that the recent strikes were in retaliation to Hezbollah's attacks on Israeli troops earlier? No, they won't talk about it until Israel strikes back. Going by the narratives flying around and the statements of that mumu Trump and Hegseth, one would think it's a one-sided attack. One would think Hezbollah hasn't been killing the Israelis.
Would Trump be saying all this nonsensic talk if it was the US mainland that Hezbollah was launching rockets into? Would they be asking for a ceasefire if the US soldiers were the ones being killed by some ragtag gunmen in Lebanon?
Didn't Iran even deny sponsoring terrorists in the past? Why are they now suddenly interested in what's going on with a known terrorist organization in Lebanon? 😂
Exactly....your first paragraph is the reality about Israel right now that most people don't know.....as brutal as they think bibi is...a lot see him as being soft in Israel. grin grin grin.

Seems like Hezbollah are the problem after all and not Israel......they're not interested in peace but the annihilation of Israel which is almost impossible for them to achieve but common sense is rare to them...what makes them think they can attack Israel without getting a response in 10 folds?. undecided .
Foreign AffairsRe: Israel And Hezbollah Continue Strikes Despite Ceasefire Agreement by Mattswaggz(op):
When I first saw the 14 point peace plan between the US and Iran which included ceasefire in Lebanon without getting Israel directly involved and committed to the idea I knew they were as good as wasting their time........Israel hardly gets tired of fighting and unlike in the US where the political pressure is all about prices of energy and suing for peace....in Israel, the political pressure will be to deal with those it views as enemies BRUTALLY....as far as these guys have the ability to still throw drones,rockets and remain a security threat towards Israel....Israel will hardly get tired of dealing with them.

If Trump wants to make peace with Iran he should do it without involving Israel because they're willing to fight to the deaath and they won't rest until they see whom they view as enemies destroyed and they aren't ready to have anyone dictate to them what to do in this case.....so any peace deal imposing upon Israel what to do will hardly hold water except if they decide to sue for peace on their own.
Foreign AffairsIsrael And Hezbollah Continue Strikes Despite Ceasefire Agreement by Mattswaggz(op): 1:00pm On Jun 20
Several people have reportedly been killed by Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, less than 24 hours after a new ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah was announced.

Officials in the Nabatieh district said attacks had killed 16 people and injured at least a dozen more, after Israeli warplanes, drones, and artillery targeted numerous areas.

The Israeli military said it struck "Hezbollah terrorist targets" after the group fired over 50 projectiles at Israeli forces in the region.

Washington has criticised Israel's ongoing operations in Lebanon, which was drawn into the US-Iran war when Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel in retaliation for a strike that killed Iran's supreme leader.

Washington also fears that the continuing tensions between Israel and Lebanon could undermine the US peace deal with Iran, which includes a commitment to end fighting on "all fronts" including Lebanon.

US envoy, Steve Witkoff, is reported to be heading to Switzerland for initial talks with Iran to help cement the agreement.

While it may have helped prevent a wider regional escalation for the time being, the deal leaves unresolved the central disputes at the heart of the conflict, including Israel's military presence in southern Lebanon and the future of Hezbollah's weapons.

A Hezbollah official told the BBC it does not recognise the ceasefire that was announced by US officials on Friday afternoon, and it rejects the Israeli objective to operate freely inside Lebanon.

Senior Hezbollah official Hassan Fadlallah said his group had the right to respond to Israeli attacks.

"What concerns us is that the enemy fully and comprehensively respects the ceasefire, and doesn't attempt to attack our country and villages or seek to occupy any new position," he said, as quoted in Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA).

Earlier on Friday, Lebanon's health ministry said 47 people were killed and 97 wounded in Israeli air strikes, while the Israeli military said four of its soldiers were also killed.

Ali, a Red Cross first responder in Nabatieh, told the BBC that it was "the most intense night" he can remember.

Those strikes came a day after the US and Iranian presidents signed an initial peace deal aiming to end the war, including in Lebanon, with immediate effect, but strikes continued.

The consequences of the ongoing fighting are visible across southern Lebanon.

At hospitals in the south, exhausted doctors continue treating the wounded, while emergency workers increasingly find themselves on recovery missions rather than rescue operations.

At Najdi Hospital in Nabatieh, ambulances bypass the emergency room and head straight to the morgue. Ali says there is no more room inside, and through the doorway, bodies in white bags can be seen laid out on the floor.

Many residents had returned to their villages after previous ceasefires and temporary truces, believing the worst of the fighting was behind them.

"The problem is that we got used to it," Ali says. "I have been with the Red Cross for more than 30 years, and deaths now are only a number for us."

The two countries first agreed to a ceasefire in April, but this failed to stop the fighting.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israeli military to intensify its strikes on Hezbollah and advance deeper into Lebanon, after Hezbollah struck communities in northern Israel with drone and rocket attacks.

Ceasefire commitments have been repeatedly renewed since then, but followed by airstrikes and attacks from both sides.

Netanyahu has been under domestic pressure to continue military action against Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Shia Muslim political and military group in Lebanon.

Hezbollah has vowed to continue its attacks while Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon persists.

Earlier this week, the White House criticised the Israeli government's military operation in Lebanon, saying it risks scuppering the peace deal. But speaking on Friday as he unveiled a new Air Force One jet, President Donald Trump praised Netanyahu, calling him a "warrior".

Lebanon was drawn into this conflict in march, when Hezbollah launched rockets and drones into Israel. In response, Israel launched a bombing campaign across Lebanon. It is occupying around 5% of the country's territory in the south, with the aim of driving back Hezbollah fighters from its northern border.

Around a million people remain displaced, while dozens of communities in the south have been completely destroyed.

What was Putin's aim:
1. Demilitarized Ukraine = failed
2. Denazitize Ukraine= meaningless
3. Annex Ukraine = heavy failure
4. Stop Ukraine from joining NATO = failing fast. Ukraine will still join after the war.

What was Ukraine's retaliation Aim:

1. BLEED RUSSIA:
30 Russian oil Refineries hit since the start of the war.
400k Russia causuties in 2025
Reduced Russia oil producers by 40%

2. Bring the war home to Russia

i. More than 3 to 4 Russia cities have witnessed devastating fire From drone strikes.
ii. 40 Moscow Airport shut down
iii. 2 Russian Cities witness Acid Rain from oil destruction
iv. Moscow up in smokes this month.

Zelensky is flogging Putin hard, The great Putin is been humiliated.
