I consider the views of those directly affected and knowledgeable in this Iran war more credible than the lords of doom here.

Message from Saudi Petroleum expert, Dr. Mansour Al-Malik ,An Energy Professor at KSA University.

"Thank you, Your Excellency President Trump

The question today is not who started the confrontation… but who stopped the danger before it grew larger.


4- Thank you because you read the history of the region well, and knew that those who bombed embassies, hijacked planes, threatened navigation, and struck oil facilities are not deterred by a statement of condemnation or a diplomatic smile.

5- Thank you because you knew that the security of the Gulf is not merely a local matter, but a pillar of global economic stability, and that targeting Riyadh or Abu Dhabi or Kuwait or Manama or Doha is an attack on energy, trade, and markets around the world.

6- Thank you because you did not wait until Iran became a nuclear power imposing its conditions on everyone, making its deterrence more costly and more dangerous.

7- Thank you because you distinguished between the noble Iranian people, who deserve life and prosperity, and the regime that spent its wealth on militias instead of schools and hospitals.

10- Thank you because you gave the peoples of the region hope that the era of blackmail with missiles and drones is not an eternal fate.

11- Thank you because you said in the language of power what years of fruitless negotiations failed to achieve: that the security of allied nations and their sovereignty are red lines.

As for us in the Gulf… we want real peace, the peace of nations not the peace of militias, the peace of development not the peace of fear, the peace of the future not the peace of slogans. "
What will I not see on nairaland. Someone is trying to whitewash the Saudis. You definitely can't be doing this for free.
The audacity to even share this nonsense grin

4. We know those who bombed embassies, hijacked planes and destroyed infrastructures, including the September 11 hijackers. Trying to whitewash Saudis who were notorious for bombing markets in Yemen to create famine. Even the baby killers dey learn for where Saudi dey. They bombed half of the hospitals in the country.

5. Even I feel Iran did not target the Gulf countries enough. If you're providing a platform where I'm being attacked from your country, you're a participant in the war. Iran didn't hit Saudi, UAE and their other partners well enough.

6. So the fear is basically having a strong neighbour. One person is allowed to be a world player, the other is not?

7. I'm sure the parents of the Minab girls would prefer having their girls in the mountains of Afghanistan than go to school on the day they United States Military came bearing gifts for the children angry

11. Motherfxckxer trying to sneak in the "security of allied nations". It basically showed that these countries do not consider you allies. Imagine Iran giving a day notice to hit facilities and still hitting them. But for Israel, almost about 5 layers of defense will be provided.


Don't even try to bring any Saudi whitewash here, a country that created the world's worst humanitarian campaign. The Irony of Saudi Arabia complaining of naval blockades grin

⚡Lebanese president Joseph Aoun declared that Lebanon is no longer “a card in anyone’s pocket nor a arena for others,” vowing not to allow any Lebanese to die for external interests and insisting no deal will forfeit the country’s rights of its land.
Useless president.

I wonder how Lebanese citizens feel watching this coward and his military leaders talk. Zero fight. How does such a man even have the audacity to lead a country.

All he ever does is direct the soldiers to withdraw, the citizens he is supposed to defend are then left bare to be killed and have their homes and infrastructure demolished. Useless president. I don't think there has even been a more cowardly president and military ever in History.

Another Colonel was killed by Boko Haram in an ambush yesterday. Obviously, someone hinted Boko Haram above troops movement.

I swear, I really hope Nigeria doesn't get into a war. Our situation will be worse than Lebanon. Lots of ready traitors who would sell and/or give information to the enemy.

- You have the IPOB and Obidient faction who would support anything and anyone against the country.
- The Muslim terrorist sympathisers in the North.
- The Christian religious extremists who would support anything they feel is against Islam.
- You have people like the underemployed lawyer who would sell anything and anyone for the faintest hope of a visa.
- Then you have those who would sell the country for as little as 5k.

Nigeria said the artillery rockets and other weapons, found at a Lagos port last month in shipping containers labelled as building supplies, originated in Iran and may have been destined for Nigerian politicians intending violence if they lose in 2011 elections.


During this issue with Iran then a lot of Nigerians were convinced that those weapons were meant to be used in Nigeria. Hence everyone involved were charged and sentenced the Iranian spent more than 3 years in a Nigerian jail.

We didn't buy the Gambia bullshit then.

.
You said after investigations but attached a 2010 link, which was at the genesis of the issue. Of course, at the start, different conspiracy theories will be floating around. You have mentioned three yourself. WA terrorists, Nigerian terrorists, and politicians.

I have attached links of the conclusion of the case after investigation. Everyone, including the Nigerian government agreed it was going to Gambia. That is not in doubt.

When the Nigerian court in Lagos gave judgement, it was based on them failing to give a satisfactory account of the destination of the weapons. Why are you trying so hard to force people to believe it was going to Gambia. How hard should it be for a whole IRGC officer to be unable to give satisfactory account of the destination of the weapons
Where is your source?

This is the report of the final conviction and end of the investigation and trial. Where is your own judgement that said the destination was not Gambia?

I don't know how many times you want IRGC and Iran to say it was destined for the Gambia. It has already passed through Lagos. If it was destined for Nigeria. They wouldn't try to export it out.

No one is disputing it was an illegal arms shipment.

Foreign AffairsRe: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Mille: 1:53pm On Apr 10
Lawag3:
And how did you know the weapons were just transiting? Like were they going to Iran or going out of Iran . Transiting to whothen


Because investigations then came to the conclusion that those weapons were meant for terrorist groups in West Africa.


Nigeria seized those weapons.

First of All Obama did not sanction Nigeria in the way you think he just refused to sell American weapons to Nigeria we were free to get weapons from anywhere that was willing to sell.


And the south African issue it was money for arms procurement that was sized not because of any sanction but because it wasn't declared they thought it was an illegal arms purchase until Nigeria came out to say it was state sanctioned the Nigerians and one Israeli involved were not charged and according to the south Africans the money was realesed back to Nigeria.


Everything here are facts
My brother, we might disagree but I don't post falsehood. The weapons were destined for the Gambia, who were also sanctioned at the time. The shipments was basically two sanctioned countries trying to evade sanctions.

How did I know the weapons were just transiting? Because it was. All parties involved, including Nigeria knew it was. Nigeria was mandated to take actions because it's a UN sanction and we are part of the UN.

We are talking 2010 here, not 2015 like all darkness posted.

Fact is, the weapons were shipped to Lagos under false declarations.. They have already bypassed lagos customs and got to a warehouse in Lagos. They were caught after attempting to re-export it. We'll both agree that if they were destined for Nigeria, there will be no attempts to export it again.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nigeria-charges-iranian-in-arms-seizure/

So where did you see your investigations that concluded that the weapons were bound for terrorist groups in West Africa? I need to see your sources.

Your friend said Iran sent weapons to Shiites in Nigeria around 2015/16. I asked for evidence and you jump in to show me reports from 2010/11 about Iran shipping weapons to Lagos.

A quick history: My dad bought two newspapers everyday from the 90s until the 2010s, so I followed the news about the weapon shipment at the time. It was a big deal here in Nigeria. But there was zero claims that it was destined for the Shiites or even anyone else in Nigeria.
Omo, e be like the blocking of a thing no dey last long. Cos why I am seeing gazebo's postings. The only person I have ever blocked on NL.

Even the link the stupid fellow shared agreed with your sentiments. The weapons were transiting through Nigeria due to a UN arms embargo on Iran. Countries have been known to do this to bypass sanctions. Even Nigeria did it in South Africa (2014) after the foolish Obama sanctioned us while we were dealing with Boko Haram at its strongest.

And please stop replying to all light abi na all darkness. That one's MO is to spread outright falsehood.

The only good news is that the war is back on.

The bad news is that Iran doesn't always seem to learn lessons that these people cannot be negotiated with. Their negotiations is always a ruse to make you relaxed so they can plan a surprise attack.

I don't even know how to express how funny this is.

Trump gives a deadline to Iran. Iran refuses to open the strait. Trump announced a ceasefire agreement is reached with Pakistan subject to Iran opening the strait. So basically means Iran still didn't agree to open the strait yet.

What's even funnier is that the man says all military objectives have been met and exceeded. Obedience40, please come and educate us on what military objectives were met in this case.

First of all Trump is a show man!!! All this are mere rhetorics!!!.

Have you tried to listen through a parliamentary session in Iran!! You will be surprised at the kind of words they use there against the USA and Israel


Every time the communists party in china holds her convention..they always say the reunification of the Taiwan peninsula is certain either peacefully or by force!! That's simply telling the people of Taiwan that either you join us peacefully or will are going to force you which means destruction and war!!

Trump went extreme but there's no way he is going to use nukes!!!
Let's wait and see. Hopefully you won't be here to gaslight us when he does use nukes as he cannot win conventionally. I don't even know what the US objectives is for now as everyone keeps going off about the Strait which was open before they launched their aggression.

You cannot bomb a country into regime change, Iran has proven that. The Shah and his minions have also been rejected by Iranian people.

Please stop comparing Taiwan and China with Iran and USA. One is more like a civil war, the other is basically trying to steal another country's resources and stop their growth.

She can never be his daughter. A DNA evidence will corroborate this statement. like poles repel, while unlike poles attract . In a family, whenever you hear that siblings of opposite sex are sleeping with each other, it's either one of them, or even both are not of same father. Has anyone seen where a lion lives with leopard or tiger offsprings? Has anyone seen where a hen allows the chicks hatched by another hen to follow her about? She must chase it away.
But the post is clear that he is not the father.

He adopted her from a motherless baby home under the guise of guardianship to abuse her.

Bro Dont u think that US ability to rescue the one of the pilots despite it been inside iran is an indication that ground invasion might not be that difficult.
I'm definitely criticising Iran for not shooting down these planes inside Iran. Damaged but still able to fly out shows their airforce might not been that efficient. I expected them to have shot down these aircrafts and helicopters inside Iran. Would have done enough for them PR-wise and the negative for the US.

But rescuing a pilot is different from searching for one. The US knew where they were going to while Iran was searching blindly. Also there was probably a well-prepared rescue team on standby. Also, I don't think the pilot landed in a populated area as they were no reported sightings.

My guess is;

●The rescued pilot was able to quickly transmit his location.
●The US got in and moved the pilot out before Iran could even secure the area and begin a search.
● The search we are seeing is probably for the second pilot who may not have been able to transmit his location for whatever reasons.

In all, I'm disappointed in Iran. A plane which crashed outside of Iran or was destroyed but still able to fly out does not have the same effects like a downed plane. Was here expecting a Mogadishu embarassed

Foreign AffairsRe: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Mille: 4:00pm On Apr 03
One have so many hypothesis on who actually flew the F15 and whatever the crew knows. For them to consider such an audacious rescue mission.

I'm even starting to believe maybe the Iranian Airforce doesn't exist anymore as I haven't seen report of them scrambling fighter jets to these areas.

They are inside Iran, which is a golden opportunity.

They should just say the pilots are still at large, so rescue missions can continue and provide ample time for Iran to target them. Nail-biting scenario. Make Iran no disappoint me.
