Kingsnairaland:What are you saying? Do you even know how you sound. Didn't Israel also killed the same God? Shouldnt Satan be celebrating Isreal for the help, instead of hating. The answer to your question is; the reason for hating Isreal is the same reason you have for hating evil America, nato and Biden |

Michaeltreasure:Your comment reflects a deeply skewed and reductionist interpretation of a complex geopolitical struggle. The idea that Iranās strategic posture can be measured solely by visible casualties or cyber disruptions ignores the broader asymmetrical nature of the conflict. Wars in the modern era are not won or lost purely on the basis of body counts or flashy retaliations, but through strategic leverage, deterrence, and long-term influence. First, the assertion that āIran lost top military and civilian leadersā is partially true, but it omits critical context. These losses, while significant, did not cripple Iranās command structure or operational capability. In fact, the very fact that Iran responded openly ā for the first time in decades ā by directly striking Israeli targets and forcing civilian evacuations demonstrates a major shift from covert deterrence to overt capability. Israel, despite its military sophistication, failed to intercept all projectiles, leading to damage in highly secured zones. That is not a trivial outcome. Second, the claim that āno member of the opponentās team is deadā is both speculative and misleading. Israel, historically and strategically, downplays or censors military casualties to manage public perception. Multiple intelligence and regional sources contradict the notion of zero Israeli losses. Moreover, the psychological and infrastructural damage suffered by Israel was enough to necessitate third-party mediation to halt escalation ā itself an admission of vulnerability. Third, it is false and ironic to describe Iranās intelligence as āwhack.ā Iran operates across multiple theaters ā from Syria to Yemen to Lebanon and Iraq ā with a network of proxies that has consistently survived Israeli and Western efforts to dismantle it. The presence of Mossad operatives in Iran does not prove Iranian weakness; it proves the nature of high-stakes espionage between two hostile intelligence agencies ā one of which (Mossad) is heavily Western-backed. Iranās ability to continue state functioning and military coordination despite infiltration efforts speaks volumes about its resilience, not failure. As for the analogy with Putin and Ukraine ā the comparison falls apart under scrutiny. Iran and Israel are not engaged in a conventional war with frontlines and battalions. This is hybrid warfare, marked by cyber operations, proxy engagements, intelligence sabotage, and occasional open strikes. The fact that Iran has not collapsed under relentless sanctions, assassination campaigns, and military provocations, and still retains influence from the Mediterranean to the Gulf, indicates strategic endurance ā not ācelebrating mediocrity.ā Finally, it's important to remember that perception of victory is not always based on short-term headlines, but on strategic outcomes. Iran emerged from this round with increased regional credibility for responding forcefully ā while Israel, for all its military pride, was forced to rely on foreign pressure to de-escalate and still faces instability on multiple fronts. In sum, mocking Iranās response as āthe joke of the centuryā betrays a superficial reading of complex strategic realities. Both sides suffered, but dismissing Iranās calculated response as inept is neither accurate nor intellectually honest. |

OkpaNsukkaisBae:Lol, Iām not angry at pastor ooh, maybe the way I wrote feel like am angry. I was confused why he was ok for Israeli to have nukes and Iran canāt have nukes. He gave his own reasons and I responded that Iran never attacked Israeli bases or embassy but instead its other way around. I supported Palestinians have their own country and their land, I never changed that fact. Even Palestine pres. Abbas doesnāt support Hamas and even calling them names Iām pro-Iran must have nukes due to her surroundings. |

shoodboi2:Iran agreed to ceasefire to give usa face, you donāt want a nuclear power back to a corner. I laughed when someone said Iran will be Libya or North Korea. The usa/ Israel canāt win a conventional war with Iran. Theyāll only hit civilian infrastructure and after a week or two all bases in Middle East will be inoperable. Iran just has to hit the fuel storage and maintenance facilities then all the planes and ground troops are sitting ducks. If the hypersonics have anti shipping capabilities ( which they most likely do) then all carrier battleships are in trouble. Israel/ USA had success with strikes because they flew from Cyprus , Iraq and probably Azerbaijan. Iran didnāt want to escalate so they didnāt hit those countries. Donāt even think of ground troops because USA will have to mobilise 1.5 to 2 million troops. Even if they do they canāt transport them in because all ports and airports are within range of Iranian missiles. Letās add the regional war and economic collapse thatāll take out most of the monarchies and dictators in the east. Bringing new regimes thatāll be hostile to USA. Everybody dies in a nuclear attack. |

https://www.newscrab.com/news/iran-israel-war-over-30000-homes-damaged-in-12-days-real-scale-of-destruction-in-israel-now-revealed Over 30,000 homes destroyed in 12 days, this is why I said Israel wonāt survive if it goes on for 6 months. This doesnāt include military, government buildings and infrastructure damages. For the first time theyāve seen what real war is, a neighbourhood rabbis said is protected by the Torah was destroyed. Now theyāll second guess every business and investment decision because youāre always one missile away from losing everything. They have been disillusioned and the chosen myth broken. |

Mikasaobi:Israel is a high tech knowledge-based service economy. Virtually everyone in Israel can live in peace and harmony and have a decent to high-paying job in any other country in the West. Worst-case scenario, they'll live on welfare. But without running into shelters multiple times a night or worry if you'll be obliterated inside a shelter. This is why Israel had to SURRENDER on Day 12. If the confrontation had gone on for 6 months, Israel will empty out. The likes of Microsoft, Nvidia, even homegrown stars like Fiverr and Wiz would have left and transferred their Israeli employees. Money must be made. It is a very clear defeat that we still do not know the full ramifications of. Iran struck at the heart of Israel and questioned its viability as a state. Without nukes. For so long, the existential fear has been: If our enemies get a nuke, they'll obliterate us. Now, it has dawned on them that enough missiles on a long enough timeline is a far more potent and latent threat than nukes. If you use nukes on Israel, nukes will be used on you. But conventional missiles. That's a different kettle of fish. Israel is small, Iran is large. Asymmetric superiority. Iran does not even need millions of missiles. Just enough to overwhelm ADs in specific points of its top cities. The world waits for no one. Every industry in Israel can fit in 3 Chinese industrial parks. Total capitalization of the Tel Aviv stock exchange is $250 billion dollars. At its peak, Apple had a 10x higher capitalization. Silicon Valley, heck, Austin will swallow all of Israel's high tech and the world will move on. I am a firm believer in a two-state solution. A State of Israel and a State of Palestine should coexist side by side. But Israel just played into the hands of those who seek to destroy it. And when the US is no longer a superpower, I fear for their progenies. -Lord |

āEstonians fought and died for the US in Afghanistanā ā Kallas explains why she is confident that Trump will never abandon Estonia. āArticle 5 is very clear. The US itself has stated that Article 5 is binding. Let me remind you that the only time Article 5 has been activated is when America itself declared that it was attacked. And my country, Estonia, went to war with the US because we are NATO allies. We had more combat casualties per capita in that war than, for example, the US itself. So I think we have proven that the allies support America. And I am confident that the US is committed to its treaty obligations.ā |

dvkot:Body go tell them. If they start sh*t, Russia will obliterate them, then they'll still run back to the US with broken femurs for loan to rebuild. They don't have a choice. All of them are in an abusive relationship with the US. The US could push them out on cold winter night and they'll still be banging the door the next morning begging to be let in. The US is looking for new means to boost its economy and asked them to pay 5% of their GDP to their weapon manufacturers and tech companies. 5% of GDP. That number will only go up. I don't know if you can call this extortion even. Imagine China came to Africa to ask all of us to pay 5% of GDP to its manufacturers for phantom protection that it can weasel out of. 5% of Nigeria's current GDP is $10B. Where the money dey? It's good for them sha. They'll tax themselves more and spend on overpriced rubbish until they fade into oblivion. -Lord |

The Iranian are now confirming what we already know, that their nuclear facilities were badly damaged, but our military experts and weapons system gurus here will tell you otherwise. Anyone with any atom of reasoning knows the chances of the Iranian getting nukes have reduced drastically, only a .... thinks that after the elimination of nuclear scientists and destruction of facilities, the Iranian are now suddenly in the works to develop a nuke. Like I always said, propaganda won't change the realities on the ground P.S. Nuclear scientists are not your regular scientists on the streets. The knowledge is very limited. The US had to make do of german scientists to kick start it own weapons of mass destruction programs.

Alamkiir:Bible shows Israel or whom ever you think killed Jesus did the world a great blessing yes Jesus death is what gave us eternal life ;his death gave us the ability to eat his flesh and drink his blood So when Satan found out that killing Jesus eventually crushed his head just like God fore told in genesis His hatred for Israel became more fearsome So now Satan hates Israel for giving us God in the flesh that saves the whole world not just only Israel like before There's a reason China and Russia refuse to make blacks their slaves that why I like them Now I don't hate USA UK evil nato I just don't want them to dominate us to the point of making us their slaves Just like they did to our forefathers Question1 Do you still hate Israel The same way as the devil hates them? Or is there another reason you are shy to say |

Gbadebo19:Itās just theatre between Iran and USA to give trump a way out. The satellite evidence doesnāt even support bombs were used because the craters are small. The massive pr campaign from the president, vice, military and media tells you all you need to know. The invisible plane myth has been busted in Serbia, detected by Russia in Syria and just early this month an f35 was detected when it made an emergency landing in India. Why ask for ceasefire when your magic plane can go in to destroy all military bunkers. Most western media have confirmed enriched uranium was not damaged. |

To damage a nuclear facility under a mountain you have to drop the bomb repeatedly on the same spot for at least 6 times to cause damage. This didnāt happen with the evidence we have. |
