grin Trump Vetoed targeting the supreme leader, only after Israeli assassination attempt on his life FAILED.
Israel's initial strike on Thursday 12/06/2025, failed to achieve upto 20% of the original result planned.
June-12 is real. Israel attacked a democratic country for nothing sake. And Iran has a right to defend itself

He was relaxing at home while sending missiles to kill Ukrainians. What goes around comes around. Ukraine may now decide to donate like 2 ships fully stocked with grenades, rockets, drones, ballistic missiles and bunker-busters to Israel. All to be used on Iran.

"Never underestimate a people whose myths are soaked in fire, whose poets chant of vengeance, and whose children are raised on stories of empire."

There is a dangerous illusion being peddled in media and military circles: that Iran-home of the Persians-is some soft target, an easy strike for Israel's military machine. This belief is not only historically illiterate, it's geopolitically reckless.

Iran is not just a country. It is a civilization. A 2,500-year-old empire that has fought, fractured, and reassembled through the jaws of history's bloodiest crucibles.


The Islamic Republic may present as a theocracy-but it functions like a fortress-mentality empire. Its generals study not just Islam, but Tacticus, Khomeini, and Genghis Khan alike. They believe in asymmetry, spiritual warfare, martyrdom, and the long game.

Not a Desert Militia - A Shadow Arsenal

Iran is not Iraq in 2003. It is not Syria in 2012. It is a regional power with:
• Ballistic missiles (2,000+ km range)
• Precision drone warfare (witness Yemen, Gaza, Syria)
• Cyber capabilities rivaling mid-tier global powers
• Undercover paramilitary units across five countries (Hezbollah, PMF, Houthis, etc.)

This is a chessboard, not checkers.


Israel's Iron, Persia's Fire

Yes, Israel is a formidable opponent-nuclear-armed, tech-savvy, intelligence-rich. But here's what Tel Aviv knows (even if Twitter doesn't):

Every Israeli airstrike risks awakening not just Tehran, but an entire Shiite axis primed for existential warfare.

Remember, Iran's concept of war is not victory by territory, but legacy by defiance. They do not fear death-they often script it into their strategic doctrine.

You don't defeat a people who name their missiles after martyrs, or who believe resistance is sacred theology.



Gallantry Beyond Missiles

Persian gallantry isn't just about weapons-it's woven into their art, their language, their resolve. Even today, in the face of sanctions, cyberattacks, and assassinations of nuclear scientists, they stand unbroken.
• In Karbala, they remember Husayn's refusal to kneel.
• In Khaybar, they chant of Ali's return.
• In Gaza, they invest-not just in arms, but in ideology.

This isn't a country trying to win battles. It's a civilization trying to outlast empires.
Aside your good command of literal English, all your prepositions are undoubtedly boisterous and incredulously unimaginable. Lol

He just wants to hold on to what's left of his prestige. If his citizens perceive him as been weak then his regime is gone. You don't want to show mercy but you fire less missiles each passing day Explain that. The problem with this man is ego.

Israel is never going to allow any of it's close neighbors possess nuclear weapons, back in the 1980s they destroyed Iraq's nuclear program, a program that was financed by France. During the Iraq Iran war, Iraq were being funded by the western powers, including China and Soviet Union, Israel was doing the opposite, helping Iran. They took the opportunity to negotiate for Jews who were living in Iran to return to Israel.

1972,During the Munich summer Olympics terrorist attack, 9 Israeli athletes were kidnapped, 2 were killed by the Palestinian Militant Organization, Israel asked permission from West Germany to rescue their citizens, Germany were claiming experts and refused the offer. During the rescue attempt headed by West Germany, all 9 hostages were killed.
Israel hunted down each one of the kidnappers and killed them.

Isreal vowed never to allow such a thing happen again, so in 1976 When the PLO hijacked a plane full of Israeli citizens, flew it to Uganda. Idi Amin refused handing over the hijackers nor the passengers. Israel planned a secret mission, flew soldiers into Uganda, killed all the hijackers and left with all hostages. Idi Ami killed one of the hostages in retaliation, a old woman that was taken to the hospital before the rescue mission flew in. Israel still negotiated to get her body.

Fun fact, the person that led the mission was Yonathan Netanyahu, the elder brother to Benjamin Netanyahu the current prime Minister. He died in the operation.

Hate Israel all you want, but those guys are going to shed blood before they allow one Jew die in captive any where in the world.
How many of the October 7 hostages died already, Mr Storyteller?

So the mission statement is never leave a Jew behind, protect all Jews at all cost. But as a deterrent they have inevitably create a monsterism mindset within the Arab nations. To be factfual, all right is reserved to defend and protect one's citizen but at what cost. The counter productiveness of such ideas will always loom over that state called isreal. Until they are willing to accept, they are not special and with a firm commitment that they can coexist with their neighbors, their unquenchable thirst for peace will always be threatened. Which in some way lead to them being aggressive towards a group of people based on their idea that those people wants to harm them. It is true, but so is law of cause and effect. If isreal is not a tyrannical state, if they only seek legitimacy, why wouldn't they allow their neighbors be. They also have the right to harm and defend themselves

Re: ' Battle Begins', Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei by malali: 1:48pm On Jun 18, 2025
Ayatollah goes away and the country recovers from all its losses. The world finds some peace and terrorists splinter groups begin to face their end. As long as you look at a group of people, who keep their own citizens in bondage in the name of religion, permitting themselves to possess nuclear weapons, then the rest of the world continues to rest on a precipice.
You have killed the top 50 people in Hamas...but Hamas is still alive and well. You cannot kill an ideology.

Iran is isolated in the Middle East. Nuclear in the hands of the Ayatollahs will definitely trigger a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. Citizens are have been fleeing the country for too many years.
Over 15 countries have declared open support for Iran, including 4 nuclear superpowers China,Russia,Pakistan and Turkey to list a few

Civilization? It was there long before the Ayatollahs and will remain when they are removed from power. Everyone is exhausted with the Mullahs and want them off. Do you want to pretend that you do not hear the happiness of the Iranians on the streets?
There was an Ayatollah before this one, They are a sovereign country, if they want a donkey to be their leader its none of your business, when USA chose Trump with 31 criminal convictions in the court of law including Rape, did Iran seek a regime change in USA ?

Al Qeada possessed all ideologies and what happened?
Hezbollah possessed all and what happened?
Hamas possessed all and what happened?
Katan Hezbollah is on the wings waiting. Except they want Iraq back on fire, they can join the fray.
The Houthis are not able to shoot many missiles daily. Their citizens are hungry and unhappy. They will have their own day soon.

The same goes for us all in Nigeria. We are sick and tired of boko haram and ideologies. While they use ideology as their cover, they are busy seizing huge chunks of lands and looting the resources found in all the places seized.

Face the truth, terrorism must not be permitted to thrive the world over. We all want peace. Enough of hiding under religion to perpetrate evil.

Without the Americans, the Israelis will crush Iran. It was long coming and now is the time to “cut off the head of the snake”. That snake is Iran.

Iran has never attacked a sovereign country. Only the USA and Isreal has attacked and killed so many leaders of different sovereign countries. All this terrorist lies are old. The world is smarter now, we are all know who the real terrorists are. You are a terrorist sympathizer as well.... grin grin grin grin

😂😂😂😂

You must be a kid for saying that The missiles rainfall has disoriented us. If you are conscious of yourself which I doubt you are, you would have asked yourself why should any Nigerian support or be sympathetic to Iran?

I don't know how old you are, but if you are an adult you will understand that there was a time a bomb was sent to Nigeria from Iran to destabilize Abuja under president Jonathan.

Nigeria government summoned Iranian ambassador to Nigeria for explanation till today no tangible explanation was given and it created a diplomatic issues between both countries and Nigeria even cancelled the friendly match our super eagles was to play with Iranian national team.

Whatever reason why you are supporting Iran, if not for our own national sentiment, it means you need to visit the pastor of mountain of fire and miracles church nearest to you for a special spiritual session.


🤣🤣🤣
It was not just not just a bomb, it was a nuclear warhead. You display your ignorance for your whole family and kinsmen to see like a peacock. The world is tired of Israel attacking people and calling them terrorists. Everybody can see the truth now. The whole world. There are 5 nuclear superpowers supporting Iran now. Namely Russia, China,Turkey, Pakistan and North Korea. So even the USA cannot do shit. Because these countries have expressed their support for Iran. I dont care about Iran. But Netenyahu is making all the good people in Israel look like terrorists. They need to remove Netenyahu for the world to have peace. He is just a human misfit. Killing infants in Palestine.
