US and NATO should stay out of this war. We must see Israel and Iran one on one. Isreal is already cheating in this war by having US supports and now calling on US to join them in the war. |

A write up from a self centered idiot. The origin of terrorism in the middle east,is Israel itself, which was created in 1945 via high level terrorism. But mischievously now, fighting against Israel is terrorism but fighting for Israel is self defense, in the eye of obviously insane, self centered and egocentric homo sapiens, who have no human conscience. Worst still ,usa/israel have nuclear weapons but now waging war against another sovereign country for the same nuclear weapons. Iran and the rest of the world should trust usa/Israel with nuclear weapons but not Iran. Isn't it? Only Israel has the right to defend itself? Only very sane people would continue to wonder how an obviously biased USA, could also be the chief ''peace'' negotiator between Israel and neighbours. What a crazy world! |

The level of propoganda and asslicking I see on Nairaland when it comes to the Zionists is out of this world. It's like a congregation of zombies that have no ability to think independently. Just copy and paste galore. Herd mentality. It's sickening and exposes why Nigeria can never be progressive. A defeatist mentality is what majority have. Even when the Zionists are themselves crying and feeling the heat, poor slaves thousands of miles away are singing hallelujah and doing praise singing of this cult of a people. It's mind bogging. |

If the US hands off Israel, Iran would do a lot of damage. US ptovides the planes, intelligence, physical and moral support and possible intervention if Israel begins to suffer. However, Israel is quite impressive and I'm rooting for them but i want peace in the middle east. Above all, I want a Palestinian State( two state solution)[quote author=Morbeta11 post=135808576]https://x.com/DrCaseyBabb/status/1935330472982134812?t=Q__L1bSzZZVUaaUWsSUvcA&s=08[/quote] |

Imagine this kind falsification - distorted write up made to FP. Maybe the sane ones will read the correct fashion here: *Echoes From Isfahan* - _They say history is written by the victors. Not always. Every now and then, history chooses to write itself through fire and silence through a single act that reorders the narratives of entire generations._ When Iran launched a ballistic missile from Isfahan toward Tel Aviv, it wasn’t merely asserting retaliation, it was delivering a thesis, wrapped in speed and steel, aimed not just at a location but at a worldview. That missile, born in the sanctions-strangled laboratories of a defiant nation, did not just pierce the sky. It shattered a myth and delusion. It unveiled the limits of military mythology, the hollowness of Western hegemony, and the futility of empire in the face of resilience. To grasp the full weight of what occurred, one must trace the missile’s impossible calculus of geometry. From the Iranian plateau, it rose toward the heavens with a trajectory that mocked the very idea of deterrence. In its path stood an alliance of the world's most powerful militaries; the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, and their regional hunting dogs. All armed to the teeth. All on high alert. All focused on stopping this single projectile. It first encountered the Americans in Iraq, whose Patriot systems scanned the skies with encrypted algorithms forged in billion-dollar labs. Then, it passed the French Rafales in the UAE, cutting across Saudi-America's controlled airspace that had been quietly opened for the exercise of European power. Down in the Gulf, the USS Carl Vinson steamed with menace, flanked by missile destroyers whose Aegis systems were meant to guarantee supremacy over any regional challenge. And yet the missile flew on. Jordanian skies offered no respite, as American and British air forces scrambled from their desert airbases. In the Mediterranean, British typhoons and American F-35s took to the air from Cyprus, joined by the orbiting eyes and silent algorithms of satellite networks. At this point, most missiles, any missile, should have been incinerated. But this one was literally a cat with infinite lives. Now within range of Israel itself, the fabled Arrow-3 system locked on, reaching beyond the atmosphere to intercept in space. When that failed, Arrow-2 took over, chasing the reentry. Then came David’s Sling, sweeping the mid-altitudes. Finally, the Iron Dome, Israel’s last shield, scanned for impact. Each layer represented billions of dollars, decades of R & D, and the collective effort of Western militaries determined to create a bubble of invincibility. Yet at least one missile survived all of this. It landed. It struck. It succeeded. What does this tell us? That something fundamental has shifted in the global balance of power. For years, analysts dismissed Iran’s capabilities as primitive, its weapons as theatrical, its claims as bluster. And yet here we are, in a world where a so-called pariah state has built missiles that not only challenge but defeat the most advanced defence architecture the world has ever seen. And they built them at home. With no imports. With no contracts signed at air shows. With no lavish defence expos or glittering promotional reels. Iran’s weapons were born in pressure, forged in isolation, and tested in the real-world arena where delivery makes the difference between diginity and humiliation. This achievement didn’t happen overnight. It happened in underground labs during the Iran-Iraq war. It happened after the downing of passenger aircraft. It happened after nuclear scientists were assassinated in broad daylight and when sanctions were imposed that were meant to starve ambition. But instead of surrendering, Iran adapted. It localized its production, diversified its methods, and layered its defence and offence in a manner few countries could replicate, let alone withstand. What was dismissed as backwards is now defining the future of deterrence. And yet, the response from Western capitals is all too familiar: denial. Iran is painted as irrational and as a threat to stability. But what if the truth is harder to admit? What if Iran is not reckless but effective? Not chaotic, but calculated? What if Iran, in exercising restraint even while under attack, is revealing itself to be more responsible, more strategic, and more sovereign than many of those gangstersinfancysuits? In this context, the missile strike was not a reckless act of vengeance. It was an intentional, bounded, and publicly announced demonstration of capability. It deliberately targeted military infrastructure. It gave advance warning. It minimized casualties. This was not revenge. It was a message: we can hit you, and we choose to. This time. This precision, this composure, this ability to control escalation even when provoked, makes the event more significant. For decades, the West has relied not only on weaponry but on the assumption that its enemies would eventually falter, would act irrationally, and would miscalculate. Iran refused to play that role. Instead, it studied, waited, and when the moment came, acted with clarity. And that, above all, terrifies the architects of empire. For those paying attention, the implications are clear. If Iran can achieve this under sanctions, what might it achieve in their absence? If it can produce this calibre of missile under pressure, what might it accomplish when freed? More critically, what precedent does this set for other nations under siege, under threat, under the illusion that the West alone possesses the key to modern military excellence? We are at the precipice of a new military reality, and many in the West are still looking in the wrong direction. They believe domination is sustainable, that superiority is permanent, and that military architecture can replace diplomacy. They are mistaken. What Iran’s missile did was not just expose a technical vulnerability. It exposed a philosophical one. The belief that security comes from dominance is obsolete. True security now lies in balance, in restraint, in mutual respect, and in the understanding that every state, no matter how demonized, has the capacity to resist, adapt, and prevail. This is not to suggest that Iran seeks war. Quite the opposite. Iran’s actions show it seeks dignity. Recognition. The right to live without being perpetually cornered, sanctioned, or threatened with annihilation. It is not Iran that invaded country after country under the guise of preemption. It is not Iran that built hundreds of military bases around the world. It is not Iran that arms apartheid regimes or vetoes every call for international justice. And yet it is Iran that is framed as the aggressor. The missile launched from Isfahan did more than fly. It spoke eloquently. It said: we are not what you say we are. We are capable. We are sovereign. We are here knocking on your miserable gates and doors. Those in Washington, London, Paris, and Tel Aviv who still dream of regime change and permanent superiority must now confront a different truth. The age of unilateral military dominance is closing. The myths are unravelling. The world no longer bends to the will of a single power or alliance. Nations have alternatives. They have capabilities. And most dangerously, for the old order, they have confidence. The West can choose to ignore this shift. It can double down on its delusions, increasing sanctions, flexing naval power, and weaponizing media narratives. But the results will not change. The longer it denies the new reality, the more it risks being overtaken by it. Military superiority, once unquestioned, now comes with caveats. And in those caveats lie the seeds of humility or humiliation. It is time for the West to choose. Not between war and peace, but between hegemony and coexistence. Not between missiles and diplomacy, but between delusion and realism. The era of might is right by assuming that technological advantage ensures victory is coming to a screetching stop. The age of multipolar defence, of distributed innovation, of disciplined deterrence, is dawning. The West must adapt or be reduced to chasing its own fading shadows. Iran’s missile may not have destroyed the whole of occupied Palestine, but it destroyed a fantasy. It exposed the cracks in a system that still sees the world through the eyes of the empire. It offered a quiet, formidable warning: if we can get through all your layers, then you can no longer claim to be untouchable. If those in power can still use what remains of their brain, they will understand this not as a humiliation but as an invitation. To deescalate. To negotiate. To respect. Because the missile that landed was not just a symbol of strength. It was a call to peaceful coexistence. And the sooner the West hears it, the better for all humanity. The world has changed. Either we share it in peace or lose it in pieces. _Mahfuz Mundadu_ |

Intelligent suggestions my brother. Nigeria army too needs to begin to think this way and build drastically to make sure we become a face in Africa to recon with so no small country or insurgency will take us by surprise. Also employing innovative minds like you CodeTemplarr: |

The most annoying part of this is that Israel is even lieing against Iran about this nuclear weapons, same way they used lies to invade Iraq and Libya.

Kemetian:Let’s not digress too much or get all worked up by emotions. Before all of these recent events, Tehran had made it abundantly clear that their sole aim is to see that the state of Israel does not exist. This is no longer news. They planned and championed strategies to actualize these evil plans. From positioning hezbolah at the boarder of Israel and Lebanon to arming Hamas to commit atrocities inside of Israel. Then footing the bills for the Hoiutain group to destroy Israel economic activities in the Red Sea and beyond. What moral ground does Iran have to decide who should live on earth? What would you have done? Fold your arms and watch while the enemy continue to build a ring of fire around you.? Was Israel not encircled and attacked on daily basis by these Iranian proxies? Israel has never for one day openly declared that they will nuke Iran. That is the a higher moral compass. You don’t allow such irresponsible people like Iran to toy with nuclear weapons. You don’t need any law from above or from man to come to this realization. Until they show sign of guided behavior, they can’t have it. |

It hurts, most people here think Iran is so weak because of all these sanctions against them, they found another way to rebuild not needing any aid from any country to survive every turmoils..that's their strength, we all know what to expect of Israel and yet no one know what to expect from Iran..that's Iran strength..Each country will take a hit..my best advice is for USA to avoid going in this war..it will hurt them real bad..no matter how much nuclear it possess..Iran is a very stubborn country..them no dey gree |

Israel is God's own country and there is no power that can shake them except God. Any nation trying to fight Israel is only looking for it's downfall. Iran brought this upon itself, it makes itself an enemy of Israel. |

SmartPolician:As an engineer who has worked with Iranian nationals, I cannot sufficiently tell you how wrong you are. Iran is not like Nigeria. They are miles ahead of Nigeria. The problem with Iran is US control and it's islamic leadership. Other than that, Iran is what Nigeria would have been without our stupid, self-serving leaders. What does it take to have a nuclear programme? We are still trying to build concrete roads here! The fact that they were beaten by Israel with state-of-the-art air superiority platforms does not equate them with Nigeria. A squadron of F-35 Adiirs will bring Naija to its knees in a couple of hours. We have absolutely nothing to counter those monsters. From the moment they enter our airspace, na to just surrender. |

dangermouse:Succinctly stated. You're one of the few folks like me here who truly understand the real-time, historical dynamics of what is going on. These Shiite mullahs of Iran must NEVER be allowed to develop nuclear weapons otherwise we're all toast. Since the so-called 1979 Iranian revolution right into the 1980s, I have known first-hand about the Shiite mullahs of Iran and their highly disruptive activities in sponsoring terror groups around the world (long before the radical Sunni Wahabi groups began to emerge with Al-Qaeda and ISIS, etc) with Hezbollah having affiliations with the Lebanese community in Nigeria especially in the far North of Nigeria and their Shiite indoctrinations of Nigerian students in Northern Uni campuses and elsewhere from the early 1980s. |

Skydivine:The door no be Iroko door, my brother. And not one door. A door can be as thick as 15 feet (minimum). They are well sealed (air and water-tight) and are operated by hydraulics and other modern ways of automation and locking systems. There could be up to 7 of such doors before you can access some areas. These are areas buried underground in the range of 50 to 100meters deep, with heavily fortified precast concrete of not less than 15meter thickness. If you have gone abroad and traveled or commuted subways, you would see similarities of what I am trying to describe. No be moin moin work at all. Iran knows who she would deal with or who she has been dealing with. |
