Tactically speaking, removing property damage, and causalities,

Israel’s strikes should be more effective than Iran but extent of damage is yet to be determined.

Anyways, I think that ceasefire is best for both sides.

Israel is running around inside Iran causing chaos at will. Iran has already lost. Hopefully Israel will totally destroy the Iranian military and put an end to it for good.

African countries should learn from this especially Nigeria they operate on a level of Indian military incompetence.

Faithful007:
Speaking without sentiment. It’s not. CNN has an extensive array of journalists reporting on both sides and current reports are saying that there’s very significant damage in both Tehran and Jerusalem.

Ballastic missiles have very little limitations. They travel at hypersonic speeds up to Mach 25 and thus are difficult to intercept. US homeland mid course defense systems have to launch four missiles to bring the intercept rate of a single launched North Korean missiles close to 90 percent.

That’s the reason they make up the core of nuclear deterrent for major countries. It increases the certainty that you will be hit regardless of what defenses you’ve got.

I have to admit i was wrong about Iran.

Iranian response have been quite impressive.

Hypersonic missiles are very capable in dealing with Air Defences, they've been very difficult for Israel to shot down.

Especially when you take into account Israel is receving significant help from the US, Britain, France and Jordan. Iran is at a significant disadvantage, but they've been able to deliver a stunning response package.

I follow CNN for the most part. The picture however was from X. I brought it here for debate. I really don’t believe it.

Why do you follow CNN for war reporting, when there are multiple accounts on X that are more authentic?

"Stunning" ? What do you mean bro ?

Sending 100s of missiles with 1% success rate ?

Pls kindly low the volume and let them breath a bit...

Following the War in Ukraine, and this Israel-Iran war i have come to the realization that humans are extremely ingenious at inventing ways in killing each other.

However for some reason this ingenuity seems to be MIA when it comes to finding a cure for Dieases.

How is the success rate of the missiles 1%?

Can you provide some evidence so that we can all be informed?

CAS ENGAGES US PARTNERS TO FAST-TRACK ACQUISITION OF AH-1Z HELICOPTERS FOR NAF

As part of efforts to strengthen the Nigerian Air Force’s operational capabilities, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Bala Abubakar, led a high-powered delegation to San Diego, California, for a Programme Management Review Meeting on the acquisition of 12 AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters. The strategic engagement, held from 9–13 June 2025, involved key representatives from the US Government and Messrs Bell Textron. The CAS expressed deep gratitude to the US for its strategic partnership, affirming the NAF’s commitment to a seamless and expedited procurement and integration process that will greatly enhance combat effectiveness and mission readiness.

The visit also took the CAS to Camp Pendleton, where he interacted with the United States Marine Corps' HMLA-367 and MALS-39 Squadrons—both central to the AH-1Z platform’s operation and maintenance. He inspected the helicopters firsthand and discussed best practices in operation, sustainment, and logistical support with USMC officials. The engagement was a key knowledge-sharing opportunity, equipping the NAF with insights necessary for successful deployment and long-term support of the AH-1Z helicopters.

Air Marshal Abubakar reaffirmed the NAF’s unwavering commitment to the effective utilisation of all air assets in the fight against terrorists, bandits, and criminal elements, with a focus on restoring peace and protecting innocent lives and property. He also extended heartfelt appreciation to the President and Commander-in-Chief, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his visionary leadership and steadfast support, describing the progress of the AH-1Z project as a reflection of the President’s commitment to enhancing national security.

One man's terrorist is the other's freedom fighter.

Of course you and everyone on earth no the issue did not start on october 7th.

Of course, the people of Gaza should leap for joy when someone stands up to their oppressors. This is why they voted in Hamas; hamas is their hero and champion.

Yeah. The truth is that it will be difficult to neutralize Iran and secondly, the stakes are really high. I don’t think, Russia and China (China especially) will resist the temptation of supplying iran with SAMs if this thing prolongs.

The best thing for the world currently is a ceasefire.

CNN is actually quite authentic as far as Middle East conflict is concerned. They’re legit for Middle East conflict.

They have decades of experience with the Middle East, and they’ve significantly become more centrist and fact based in reporting about Israel.

MiddleDimension:

I don’t know, and frankly I don’t want them to. That’s why I would prefer a ceasefire.

However, judging from their statement on the conflict at the UN. It’s obvious they’re trying to pass a subtle message:

"China opposes the intensification of contradictions and the expansion of conflicts, and is deeply concerned about the consequences that may be brought about by Israel's actions,".

History bidexiii, History!!!

Present day Israel, was originally Palestine under British colonial administration. Due to the fact that they were targeted in WW2, Jewish refugees or let me put in the term they were historically referred to, “illegal migrants” in search of a holy land and a place to call home, found their way to Palestine. Evidence Below 👇

Now there is no way Palestine wasn’t populated even before British colonization. There were certainly local Arabs who lived there when Palestine was still a part of the Ottoman Empire. These local Arabs welcomed the Israelis and co-habited with them. A mistake they didn’t know will bite them hard in the future. Fast forward to 1948. Somehow, some way, Palestine becomes Israel and claims to have gained independence after ethnically cleansing and forcefully displacing the local Arabs. Is there even any evidence of that. I mean in the case of Nigeria and South Africa, there are evidences and legacies that proves both countries right to be former British colonies. Where did Israel appear from…?? When and How did the British colonize them and later lead to them gaining independence….??
Crazy and noteworthy point is that the superpowers of then and UN heads wanted to divide Palestine between the local Arabs and the Jews and put Jerusalem under international trusteeship. Present day 2025, guess who has ursuped 90% of Palestine including Jerusalem and intends to expand into Lebanon, Syria and some other Middle East countries in the pursuit of a Greater Israel…??

1948 till date, 77 years of ethnically cleansing and forcefully displacing Palestinians, not to mention the constant terrorizing of nearby Middle Eastern states like Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and even faraway Iran, all but a few entities remain silent to avoid “western sanctions”. However when Palestinians decided to stand up for themselves, it’s a problem…?? The West Bank government of Palestinians that is approved by Israel, do you know why Palestinians don’t regard them…?? It’s because they work together with Israeli forces to oppress them that is why Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank rather follow the leadership of Hamas.

P.S : Hamas is a political party not an armed force. The military arm of Hamas responsible for operation Al Aqsa flood on October 7 is the Qassam Brigades.

The only thing they are factual about is local American news. That one sef is a probability. Is it not the same CNN I saw interviewing a so called “son of leader of Hamas”…??

Unfortuantely what happens most at times with legacy media is you have reporters pushing down their opinions on viewers.

I miss when the news was about reporting events, not opinions or Agendas.

CNN used to be a trustworthy, reliable news source, but that has all changed. They are all pushing left wing agendas or Right wing agendas.

It's exhausting!!!

Nowadays most people go just go on X for the news, their almost always first hand visual evidence of what's going on in the world.

I've been reading reports that China, Russia, Pakistan and Turkey have been supporting the Iranian effort covertly.

The fact is, Israel has quite a capable military, but Iran is no Hezbollah or Hamas.

They’re for profit entities that report what brings them the most views. CNN knows that her viewership holds skeptical views of both Israel and Iran. So they tend to stick to the facts unlike Fox that has all but become part of IDFs media office.
