There is a reason why the US is very hesitant to deploy troops on ground in Iran.
What's the reason? No other country is prepared to permit its airspace to be used in attacking Iran.

Better go and find pictures of starving children and type down hashtag #freeiran on your draft message, so that when the real film start, you would have enough propaganda material that you would use to emotionally blackmail the gullible liberals on social media. Trust me, you would need it if or rather when that time comes grin
You are making NOISE, Sir!!

Iran has never been a coward like you. Check their history, Iran has lost many Wars against US and Israel and Europe combined, but Iran won’t bow to the oppressors. It’s continuous resistance till the end of the world

This is Iran fighting back and it will use what it has to defend itself. Those vessels are loaded with fuel to power Iran’s enemies' fighter jets and Iran is not stupid.

Iran is monitoring their moves with hand on the trigger. Iran forced the US carrier warships to retreat while sending drone over US warships to monitor their moves real-time.

If Trump doesn't want war, he has time to do so. His war in Iran will not bring back the western spies Iran held and eliminated during the sponsored terrorist attack on Iran.
Iran has actually been very stupid that's why their economy is in free fall. They are fight the wrong battles.

See the way you just concluded that the ships carried oil to fuel the fighter jets of the enemies of Iran.
You must be part of the deal.

See Nigerians fighting each other about what is happening in the Gulf.

Right here in our country two massacres within 72 hours involving several dozen lives and that doesn't bother them.

In any civilians society the country will have shut down with no one talking about anything else, with the government scrambling to answer questions from an outraged citizenry, but....just another day in the lives of a hapless people.

It is a tanker or tankers that is our bother.
Failed citizens.
Re: Iran Seizes 2 Western Oil Tankers & Detains 15 Foreign Crew Members (Photos) by ViceGovernor: 3:42pm On Feb 05
True talk 💯...there was a time they were plaguing the entire red sea hijacking ships but the day they touched a US cargo ship that was the last we heard from them.......the entire hodeida port where they store their fuel was buried by American and Israeli fighter jets, now the whole red sea is under control of Israeli Navy.

Iran don price market and they no get the money to pay but they must pay the full amount.

Their weakness is not the weak economy, afterall they have been under US and UN sanctions for decades, and the economy did not collapse. It the fractionalisation of the country - between the Islamist fundamentalists and moderates, between the government and its people. Iran is a house divided among itself. A United Iran would be very difficult to defeat.

Which country are the vessels registered under ? The West is not a name of a country


The West is a name of a vampire coalition that have been sucking the blood of the rest of the world for centuries.

Whether it comes from Estonia or Croatia, it does not matter.

One of the reasons why it will be very hard for USA to attack Iran. The highest they can do is to keep putting Iran under sanctions like they’ve been doing for years..

Iran is located at a very important place. If Iran choose to go crazy, nothing can ship thru the coast
This must be a sort of joke. Iran doesn't have the capability to block the strait of Hormuz. How would they do it even without a US naval carrier group? US Navy destroyers alone can decimate Iranian navy talk less when you add submarines and naval air power. Even the attempt to mine the strait would be met with such firepower that none of the ships involved would escape not to talk of blockage.

There are reasons why the US is very hesitant to deploy troops on ground in Iran. Iran is twice the size of Afghanistan and 4 times the size of Iraq. Unlike Iraq that has a rather flat landscape, Iran has countless mountains and valleys that serve as strategic defensive positions. US troops invading in such a terrain, will be facing the most difficult landscape since Vietnam.

Iran has the global economy by the balls due to its ability to shut down the strait of Hormuz. This season passageway is where over 30% of global shipping passes through. Iran can mine the entire strait overnight rendering it impassable to ships for a long time. The price of oil will shoot up massively and global economies will be even under more pressure than normal.

All Saudi and Qatari oil fields are within the reach of Iranian missiles and drones. If Arabia and Qatar permit the US to launch attacks on Iran from bases within these countries, Iran is going to light up their oil fields like Christmas trees. This reason alone is why Qatar and Saudi Arabia are strongly pressuring the US to stand down and back off any attacks.
This is how you people overhype and sing their praises until they are whipped and you start crying ''genocide'', ''free Iran''.
Do you think Iran can survive or match US army if they deploy their arsenals against Iran?

Bro what are you saying? No way you're saying this, Iran can be turned to Gaza within few months, look is not about how crazy you're, is about how much control you have on air, US have got crazy Aircraft to do the damn job they can bomb the hell out of Iran within one month and take over the location you're talking about, they don't just want to be demons to the ordinary citizens
