Iran leaders are jittery. I read on New York times that the mullah govt of Iran is telling citizens to delete WhatsApp,on their phones, that that's wat Israel is using to track their military leaders.

E fit be true ooo,cos the way Israel is targeting Iranian leaders with top notch precision is awesome

I said it earlier, US is about to strike. It's a matter of days. They have an opportunity to take out Iran's underground nuclear assets now that Israel is in control of Iranian Airspace (US is the only one with capacity to take those facilities out). it's a matter of go, take it out, and leave, and let Israel handle the rest. Of course Iran is going to fire back with all their might at civilian targets because the regime is toppled.

In the Middle East, the language of peace is force, not dialogue.

As a consequence, the US will let Iran fire destroyers at evacuated US bases in the Middle East. Some of them will be neutralized while the rest will be allowed to cause minimal damage. Defense contractors will fix them later.
What manner of joke is this?
"Now that Isreal is in control of the Iranian Airspace"…....
Israel is in control of Iranian Airspace yet America are still moving their citizens out of Israel?

Come together where? Lagos here?

It's wishful thinking my dear brother. But I wish they all realised that all the aggression and war favour no one.

Hatred for Obama is what caused this war.

So the Iranians gave the US safe passage? I'm asking because you said the Iranians control Israeli airspace

Are there no Nigerians living in Iran abi it's when they are killed that the Nigerian government will bring home their corpse

What am I even saying sef, over 200 benue people were slaughtered in there home land and tinubu didn't do anything so the life of Nigerians living in Iran obviously don't mean a thing to him.
what concerns them is the tactical approach on how to improve decampees from PDP to APC...Only concern is 2027..sick politicians

LordBiden:
Obama already settled the matter but trump tore the deal with his oversabi attitude.

Hatred for Obama is what caused this war.
The nuclear deal President Obama signed with Iran—formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—was reached in 2015 between Iran and the P5+1 (the U.S., U.K., France, Russia, China, and Germany). While praised by some as a diplomatic breakthrough, the deal has also received sharp criticism on multiple fronts. Here’s a detailed critique:

1. Sunset Clauses – A Time Bomb
One of the most heavily criticized aspects of the JCPOA is that key restrictions on Iran's nuclear program were temporary, set to expire after 10–15 years. Critics argue that:

This gave Iran a clear timeline after which it could legally resume advanced enrichment with little to no restrictions.

It essentially delayed the problem rather than solving it.

It signaled to regional adversaries that Iran might just wait out the clock to become a nuclear-threshold state.

2. Weak Inspection Regime
Although the IAEA was allowed to inspect declared nuclear sites, Iran was given 24 days (or more) to grant access to suspected undeclared sites—ample time to hide evidence of wrongdoing.

Iran also refused access to military sites, which could be used for clandestine nuclear research.

3. Billions Released, Terror Empowered
The deal freed up more than $100 billion in frozen Iranian assets and lifted international sanctions.

Critics argue that this funded Iran’s regional proxies and terrorist groups, including Hezbollah, Hamas, and militias in Iraq and Syria.

Rather than moderating Iran, this cash injection allegedly emboldened its hardliners, increased its influence in the Middle East, and destabilized neighbors like Yemen and Israel.

4. Iran Never Had to Come Clean
Iran was not required to fully disclose the past military dimensions (PMD) of its nuclear program. Critics saw this as a massive oversight.

Without this knowledge, it was harder to verify if Iran had truly dismantled all past nuclear weapons work.

5. No Restrictions on Ballistic Missiles
The JCPOA did not restrict Iran’s development of ballistic missile technology, despite the fact that such missiles are the primary delivery mechanism for nuclear weapons.

Iran continued testing missiles, many inscribed with threats against Israel, further destabilizing the region.

6. Ignored Regional Allies and Critics
Key U.S. allies like Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE were not part of the negotiation and strongly opposed the deal.

Israel, in particular, saw the JCPOA as an existential threat, with then-Prime Minister Netanyahu publicly denouncing it as a “historic mistake.”

The perception that the U.S. was cozying up to Iran at the expense of Arab allies weakened trust in American leadership in the Middle East.

7. Iran’s Behavior Didn’t Improve
Supporters claimed the deal would moderate Iran’s behavior. However, critics point out that:

Iran's human rights abuses, political repression, and hostage-taking of dual nationals continued or worsened.

Aggression in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, and Gaza intensified, suggesting Iran used its windfall to expand its power, not reform its conduct.

Summary of Criticisms
Issue Criticism
Sunset Clauses Gave Iran a clear path to nuclear capability in the long run
Inspections Weak verification; military sites off-limits
Sanctions Relief Empowered Iran’s regional aggression and terrorism
Ballistic Missiles No restrictions; continued missile testing
Iran’s Accountability Iran never admitted to past nuclear weapons work
Excluded Allies Alienated Israel and Gulf states
No Behavioral Change Iran became more aggressive, not less

Conclusion
Critics of the Iran nuclear deal argue it was short-sighted and naïvely optimistic, giving Iran too much for too little in return. While it may have delayed a nuclear breakout in the short term, it empowered a regime that continued to defy international norms, and left future administrations with a more dangerous and emboldened Iran.

The bolded above is the exact reason I support Iran having their own nuclear weapons because you can't have a bullying neighbour like Israel who goes around terrorising her neighbours with distructions and nuclear bombs, and ask the same neighbours to not arm up... This madness has got to stop 🛑
You've got it all wrong! The real terrorist is Iran—exporting terrorism to every part of the world in the name of religion. Israel has never been a bully; it's Iran that has vowed to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. This is the same Iran that sponsors Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and others, while simultaneously pursuing the development of weapons of mass destruction and engaging in acts of violence.

Iran is the truly dangerous actor here.

Why should the US be the one to do that? The fight is between Israel and Iran. Or are we saying, Israel cannot measure up to Iran without the US. So, Israel is nothing without US?

Never again shall the world allow an Islamic country enrich such amount of uranium to the extent of having a nuclear power house. Their intent is to destroy Jews and Christianity. Antisemitism is evil and must be uprooted .

Iron dome was a total brain wash... It's now a doomed invention. Russia was painted heavy weight until Ukraine tested them and they found it not to be a quick run over....same as Israel that has been gallivanting with so much pride about a missile stopper over the years but now being really tested. The whole world na packaging, I beg.

If Nairaland had not been owned by a Nigerian, I'd have said this comment of yours is written by an Israeli sponsored internet stooge... I mean no offence...my apologies if you feel offended 🙏

Everything you said up there except for Hezbollah and Houthis are all made up lies from Netanyahu. Hamas was actually funded and sponsored by Israel...sounds strange isn'thuh. The original plan for Hamas was to use them to cause division amongst the PLO. Fact check this please...

Also, regarding the production of weapon of mass destruction, do you even know how Israel got their nuclear weapon and if they officially registered as a nuclear power state?... let's leave that for another day.

Truth is, if your neighbour is Israel and you're witnessing what they've been doing to others within the region, and you sit with your hands fold, thinking they won't get to you as is the case with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman... then your case is similar to Nigeria that is calling terrorists - bandits and calling freedom fighters - terrorists.
