North Korea's decision to develop nuclear weapons decades ago looks smarter every day.

Iran has two choices;

2. Become North Korea
IT IS UP TO THEM

As I wanted.

Better than giving the Americans something to self-service on.

In the maintime, Iran should be serious with Russia and China on a better plan incase the US decides to come to the aid of her crycry cousin.

A better response is needed.

For some of us who trade the international markets, time to cash in on oil, gold and the likes.

When China warned the US against attacking Iran, did the US listen? Good for them 😂

For our economists in the house (I mean the original economists and not that quack Ibime) what is the implication of the closure of the strait for us here? I am particularly interested in knowing how it will affect our foreign exchange and stock market?

Will it go up or down? Should we convert our foreign currency to naira or convert naira to foreign currency? Should I buy stock or sell? I want to make some money off this 😀

⚡125 U.S. military planes took part in the airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear sites.

It was the largest U.S. B-2 stealth bomber operation ever.

The so-called international atomic agency will soon start screaming and talking about how Iran will cause radioactive material to leak into the atmosphere. Just watch. They will soon start.

Iranian state TV aired a map of U.S. military bases within range of its missiles.

Tehran is reportedly preparing a harsh response to the American strikes — but the Pentagon says it’s ready.


Ready guys, Pentagon says it is ready...... A long week is ahead.

Untrue at the moment.
The IRGC said they'll close it, if the order is given.
The Parliament approved closure but clarified the final decision rests with the Supreme National Security Council headed by the Ayatollah.

Iran is most likely to respond to the US attack after Araqchi has met Putin, Xi will almost certainly be on the conference call.
I don't think closing the Strait is the best move.
Repeat the Soleimani reprisal attack. Pick a base in a Gulf state. Tell them only personnel can leave.
Obliterate the base. I cannot emphasize enough that Iran should not kill an American.

The US gave Iran ample opportunity to evacuate its 3 nuclear facilities before its attack.
Iran should offer the same grace.
But that's like my opinion. Doesn't count.

-Lord
Thanks for your take.
I totally concur with the fact that Iran should refrain from closing the Strait... at least for now.
For me that'd be an emotional decision - they'd have played one of their most important cards way too early in the conflict.
Let the Strait be!
Totally avoid the Americans - they're a distraction at the moment.
They have the right to retaliate America's aggression but that should be done at a time of their choosing.
War has many twists and turns and they'll naturally get their chance for a payback.
Completely focus on Netanhayu's transgression.
Emulate "Mother Russia" and President Putin - do not let your feelings come in the way of what you've set out to achieve be it advancing on the Nuclear program or the ongoing punishment of Netanhayu's regime.
Unfortunately wars are conducted by men and emotions rule men.
If they can put their emotions in check and really think deep in terms of strategy and tactics, they have the capacity to last the fight and who knows where all of this would end?
It's quite scary the times we're in as this could quite easily metamorphose into something that could consume most of the world.
But, what do I know?

Russia is discreetly shipping in large quantities of military equipment via the port of Conakry in Guinea before transporting them by road to Mali, where Russian paramilitaries have slaughtered hundreds of civilians and raped several women.


Pro Russian fans, how market. Your darling Russia is discreetly destabilizing Africa small small oo

BREAKING: Iran intends to carry out surprise operations against Israel while continuing to monitor US bases in the region.

Iran's strategy is that America's intervention should not hinder the implementation of its plans against the Zionist entity, Israel.

Iran's main focus is on eliminating the Zionist entity as America's main base.

Your assessment is reasonable. But you have ignored the fact that the US is not yet done. They are currently executing a wait-and-see approach where they see Iran's response and use that to justify another attack against Iran.

Iran is in a quagmire. If it responds and destroys expensive assets or kills troops, America will use that as justification to launch an even larger attack.

If Iran doesn't attack, America and Israel will consider it a weakness and launch bolder attacks.

That is why LordAdam spoke about Iran retaliating against US bases but without killing American troops.

What Iran has done has effectively put the US in that quagmire Iran is supposed to be in. Iran literally fought back without firing a shot. Now, the US will clearly be the aggressor. And it would have little justification to attack Iran.

Plus closing the strait also means American and NATO citizens will feel the heat of Trump's action. And let's not forget that the US now has to deploy resources into protecting ships in the strait (if they want to keep it open by force, that is).

The more resources the US has to deploy to keep the strait open, the less resources it can deploy against Iran itself.

This Iranians are not serious, they think this is a joke? I don't know who is more comic between their leaders and their media

-They tell Isreal when they are about to attack" the 9th wave is about to begin.
- they tell Isreal when they sent it "our missile is on the way"
- they tell Isreal what they have sent " we have sent 20 drone 9 missiles including keibar"
They also tell them where they are attacking in Isreal

Kingsnairaland:

They don't chant it day and night. They only chant it when the US does things that hurt them. If the US bombs them, they shout “Death to America,” which is fair. Or are they supposed to pray for the US after the US bombs them?

The chant originated from decades ago when Iran had nothing to retaliate against the US. So, back then the US could do all sorts of horrible things to them and they couldn't fight back.

Today, it's just another slogan used to display their disgust with US policies towards Iran.

See, I already know where you are going with this and I know we both will soon end up in an argument about the religious legitimacy of Israel if we go back and forth for too long. And I am not usually interested in religious arguments.

In the meantime, you can check this Wikipedia link for everything you need to know about the chant. It has been covered in detail:
