US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has disclosed that it's only stupid countries that won't respond when shot at. He maintained that the US is not a stupid country so he will not allow Iranian drones and missiles to cause damage to US warships at the Strait of Hormuz or anywhere.

Aljazeera reported that US forces stated that they had to strike back in self defence when they were faced with drones and missiles attacks from Iran at the Strait of Hormuz.


Earlier today, US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, stated that it's a stupid country that would be shot at and would not strike back noting that the US is not a stupid country. He disclosed this while responding to the media in Italy while still on a visit to Italy.

The US says Iranian drones and missiles targeted its forces in the Strait of Hormuz; the military called the attacks unprovoked and said it struck Iranian sites in self-defence, while Tehran alleges civilian areas were hit.

Pootle:

hayywhizle:
So penalty awarded goals ain't goals? Make it make sense

PK is luck... A lazy player or quiet player on d pitch can score plenty penalty kicks

OgaSeun:
Even the 700 non penalty goals is much more than any srikers total career goals..... Recognize greatness when you see it.. Stop the hate.

As an elite football player, how come u score that amount of plenty goals and u have ZERO world cup not even medal oo, ZERO Player of d tournament award in 23 years of International football ZERO world cup knock out goals and assist... Nawa... It's not hate it's fact... I know such fact is a bitter pill for u to swallow

ScholitoMotors:
At least he has trophies and medals and awards to show for it.
What have you achieved Your own nor pass monkey post.
Your PESSI is struggling to find goal in MLS. You think say Saudi league easy? It’s every physical even some European league players are struggling to catch their breath cos it’s more physical.


Rejoice with others and stop giving yourself high BP

Same Arab league that your tapinaldo once condemned. Do u know that MLS is better ranked than Saudi pro league? Tapinaldo was rejected by top European clubs then same Arab league he once abused came to rescue him


In regard to achievement, we talking football achievements... And clearly Messi has surpassed all football players dead or alive.

Ogbeni facts no sopoz make u craze and cry na

Death to all terrorist

Marco Rubio was asked a stupid question this afternoon by one leftist journalist in Italy, asking why US keeps striking Iran. Marco Rubio blasted him telling him it's only a stupid country that would be shot at and not shoot back. He clearly stated Iran shot at them and so they had to respond.
Can u imagine that kind of question bro



Coz if USA don't respond it's d same leftist people that will say USA is weak

It works very well. But e dey make person lean wella oo if overused

Tears no dey anywhere kankan, I just dey tell u fact, deny d facts I posted na. Na u dey in pains na, and I'm loving it

insidelife22:
I wonder if the same could be said about the Short man currently playing for inter Miami

U shot yourself in d foot. Remove non penalty goals, Messi has the highest goals; goal to game ratio, Messi is the highest goal scorer. So even in Ronaldo forte which is goals, Messi is still his godfather... Still concerning goals, Messi has more golden boots than tapinaldo...


I never even go dribbling, assists, trophies, MVPs, ballon dors, MOTM etc U and your tapinaldo go tear ACL

Lots of goals yet ZERO Player of the tournament award in 23 years of International football; ZERO world cup medal and trophy; ZERO Olympic medal (even lost to war ravaged Iraq in 2004 Olympics) ; ZERO world cup knock out goals...


Tapinaldo penaldo for a reason... Remove non penalty goals, baba has about 700+ goals lower than Messi

Two black players beaten and slapping two white players to pulp... Seems blacks are physically stronger than whites

QuinQQ:
OP Nairaland doesn't send topics like this to Frontpage.
You should have titled it:
"Trump LIED US Sends Iran Attack Boats To The Bottom Of The Sea"

U sabi them wella
Weda they like it or not, you and I, and few others will continue to post the facts about d true situation going on, no matter how bitter. And d interesting thing is that no matter how much they hide bitter stubborn facts like this, d news and facts are always everywhere, not hidden at all



Terrorists sympathizers wanna hear news with headlines such as "Iran attacks and blows up all US warships at Strait of Hormuz" or "IRGC strikes killed Netanyahu" etc. IRGC Hamas Hezbollah houthis sympathizers and their mentors don suffer wella from USA and Israel

As escalation and tension go on between the US and Iran at the Strait of Hormuz, US President, Donald Trump, has stated that Iran launched some attacks against US warships stationed at enforcing the US blockade of Iranian ports.


He, however, disclosed that all the Iranian drone and missile attacks were neutralized by the US forces as all the Iranian attack boats that carried out the attack were sunk into the bottom of the sea. POTUS also noted that despite under fire three US Destroyers transited out of the Strait of Hormuz successfully with NO damage done to the three American destroyers.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump CONFIRMS Iran attempted to ATTACK three US Naval vessels in the Strait of Hormuz — says our destroyers suffered NO DAMAGE

Thank God!

Trump said the US sent Iran’s attack boats to the bottom of the sea

There is also another viral video where Mbappe was directing Ryan Cherki to collect the captain armband from Kante and give it to him (Mbappe) before he would enter the pitch as a substitute.

Era el cumpleaños de Kanté, estaba capitaneando la selección francesa y Mbappé que sale al campo, le exige a Cherki que le diga a Kanté que le dé su brazalete, quitándole así la capitanía.

A viral throwback video has emerged showing moments French super star, Kylian Mbappe, stopped running to support his team and teammates simply because the ball was not passed to him by Vitinha. This happened during his PSG days. Is Mbappe ego a major factor?



Reactions have been going on regarding PSG back to back UCL final qualifications. It would be recalled that it was after the exit of Kylian Mbappe that PSG made it to the final of the UCL in 2025 and won it. Now they are making another entry into the final of the UCL in Budapest where they would lock horns with Arsenal FC of England. People keep wondering if Mbappe ego is a major factor in his career.

Incase you’re wondering how PSG are in back to back UCL final without Kylian Mbappe, here’s one of it

Nice good cultural song... Flavour u are a great singer

Layi4real:
What is Ur prove that he was hiding? if he was hiding he won't walk to his office with his family at a time. He never hide and Iranians leader will never hide bcus it's against there theology. If prophet Muhammad can as a religion and political leader can go to war who is Ayatollah that will now hide Nd send his army to die in war. we all see the officials walking freely even joining protest while the war is still ongoing. That's what true leader does.

Your reverred yahaya sinwar was hiding even dressing like a woman... These were all disciples of Ayatollah Ali Khomeini... So he taught them how to hide from USA and Israel... Coward and weak people all through... No wonder they hide in tunnels, hospitals, schools etc using innocent civilians as human shield

Yahya Sinwar spent his final days absolutely terrified, hiding in women’s clothes, before Israel finally killed him.

He lived and died a coward. pic.twitter.com/GiFeyAi5rV
