Why do i keep having the feelings that Iran has already built a nuclear weapon and they are waiting for US to get fully into the ring before they unleash the deadly weapon.

You don't get it do you? This isn't a Trump issue.

The US has been envisioning a possible attack on Iran right from the gulf war era. The reason why they couldn't proceed was because they had no concrete reason to.

Iran has just handed them a reason to turn them to Iraq and Syria where armed gangs kill each other on a daily basis.

If they're bombing the US bases and the US is hitting vital targets in Iran with precision, sooner or later Iran wouldn't have the means to sustain the war anymore. Cos within weeks, a large percentage of their military command structure would be destroyed. And guess what, that's when the ground armies would be brought in to occupy their country whilst they steal their resources.

That's how the US makes their money from the middle east. And sadly, Iran played perfectly into their game.

Your explanation quite different from those countries. It's different circumstances. The large population against their leaders.

Iran's regime is enjoying large population of citizens on their side. Iranians always stands with flag when any country intended to rubbish their country because they value their sovereignty.

This retaliation shows that Iran had no good advisers...How can they claim to have good relationship with Qatar and same time targeting usa interest in Qatar. Usa flew all the way from there country to attack Iran nuclear weapon... The right thing to do is to also fly from there country to attack usa in their soil . Infact they have now gotten another enemy...This is why regime change in Iran will be so smooth one . Qatar was against the isreali ...This single action has further gotten another enemy for iran ...

Very simple, they attacked USA assets where they could reach.
You said Iran claimed that they have good relationship with Qatar and shouldn't have attacked USA assets there, right? If Iran attempted to attack USA directly, assuming they have the capability, won't USA deploy their military assets in Qatar against Iran if necessary? I'm just testing our logic here

Dennisochampa:
If it's before... Iran will fire 700 missiles at once....
How many u hear say them deh fire with each passing day,
Answer that question and you will understand why it's wise for Iran to concede defeat and call for truce....
When they don't have nuclear weapons, they already arm terrorists groups like hamas and Houthis with their long range missiles to strike and attack Isreal and USA assets.....
What do you think they will do if they have access to nuclear weapons
This is why the USA and Israel... Especially Isreal don't want them to have nuclear weapon....
See what happened when hamas attacked Isreal some time ago.... 1200 killed without warning, without notice and without nuclear weapons...alot of the planning and weapons used in the attack as reported, were provided by Iran
Think about what they will do if Iran was allowed to have nuclear weapons....
Nobody talk say make you no pursue your nuclear dreams.....
Just don't enrich your uranium to weapons grade....

Believe it or not... Iran is sympathetic to any one who hates Isreal and USA and will do all they can to ensure those 2 never have peace of mind

Fact again is all the launchers they use for this attack won't make it back....Israel have already taken to air to finish them off.... grin

Each missile attack is costly to the Islamic regime..cos it's simply fire and die situation they are in hence the low barrage been fired atleast to still have some small level of capability to fire as the war goes on, very soon it would be one missile fired in 2 to 3 days... grin

People w/o lack ability for critical thinking. The same country that has been the chief mediator in the Middle East, now attacked by the Mullahs.

Qatar has a military pact with the USA, necessitating that base installed there. Now that they have attacked Qatar under the guise of attacking the USA, it should be game on, I believe.

Can anyone bet with me that the end of the Mullahs is now clearly in the horizon?

Yes, that's a possibility if there is minimal damage and no casualties. Iran may be let off the hook for it just to allow them prove a point that they are a sovereign state.

For those of you shouting regime Change....

The Ayatollahs have already picked their successors.....

Some men rather die than live under some sort of bondage and slavery......

The Iranians will not live under American Bondage......

DON'T MESS WITH THE PERSIANS.....REMEMBER ALADDIN WITH THE FLYING CARPET......HE WAS PERSIAN.

Leave all this fools. Same way many African leaders were submissive to the Western world and they got exploited and thier citizens are still suffering from it. America through trump can't choose who to lead Iran. They killed Gaddafi and imposed thier ally and up till now, Libya is in tumor. If not for Putin support of Traore, France would have find way to eliminate him. Are the citizens not happy now. The so called Israel they call, God's own but always dance to American to cause war in their region. We always parade Muslim to be a bad religion in Nigeria but Christians are far worse. Checkout the ritualist always caught and tell which numbers are higher. Other crime too. You will see all dis drugs dealer in the east, building and sponsoring Catholic works. It happens in anambra some years ago were alot of people were killed in the church. The once owner of Maria pure water in Benin was later discovered to be a ritualist. Catholic rosary was on the nylon of the pure water.

Re: Iran Fires Missiles At US Bases In Qatar and Iraq by MT: 6:55pm On Jun 23, 2025

It’s a face saving strike from Iran to appear to their allies and citizens that they are strong.

They knew Qatar air defence would intercept all the missile fired. It’s like someone gave you a dirty slap and you rub his face in retaliation.

30 pounder bombs and lot of cruise missiles and all irans could muster was 6 ballistic missiles with everything intercepted.

US need not to retaliate . Israel is dealing with them cruelly.

It’s hilarious!

Trump response will be the same like after Iran fired missiles at US base in Iraq couple of years ago, by letting it slide. They both know what they are doing, Iran warned before firing so there will be no American casualties, since no casualties Trump will move on.

Russian have War at hand with Ukraine they need to focus on the one they have in hand..
China already knows that South China sea will be at stake to North Korea..
North Korea knows that any direct attack will result to their downfall, as they decide to be alone let them not play any game because their case with South and Japan has not be settled..

Sorry bro, but you have no logic there.

You started off well, but your last sentence completely missed the mark. Let me explain it to you, even though I clarified it a moment ago.

The Qataris signed military pacts with the USA in 2002 and 2003. The military pacts contained defense. For that reason, the Qataris permitted the use of their country for an American military base, just like the others in the Middle East. That base is able to contain over 100 aircrafts. Aside from the military pact, they have other agreements with the Qataris that are beneficial to both countries. The Americans owe it a duty, therefore, to protect the Qataris in case of an attack like this. That’s why Mr. Trump said “don’t dare” touch an American or America asset.

I stated earlier that Iran miscalculated in attacking the American base in Qatar, seeing that Qatar has been the leading Middle East peace negotiator. That includes for the Iranians too. However, we can also say that the Iranians believed that attacking the base in Qatar would draw a response from the Americans and therefore, set the entire Middle East on fire. Now, I believe that they will get the response needed by them.

However, it amay not be game over for the Mullahs in Iran yet, as I believe that they possess some potent chemical weapons. That’s why they threatened that their actions would resound in generations to come. However, they made more enemies for themselves than friends.

Notice that tactically, the Israelis avoided attacking their citizens. The reason is to prompt the citizens to rise up and push out the Mullahs. They have set it in motion, with Reza Pahlavi requesting an interim government.

So the plan in on. Expect a resounding response from Mr. Trump. Expect the Israelis to respond. Expect NATO to back up. If there’s no de-escalation now, we are seeing a serious war in the Middle East, caused by the greedy Ayatollahs. Dictators only give up, except you force them. They fight to the last!
